PlainTextMenu

Copied text often brings unwanted baggage with it—fonts, colors, links, irregular spacing, extra line breaks, and invisible characters. PlainTextMenu lives in your Mac menu bar and gives you clean, predictable text before you paste. Clean the current clipboard whenever you need it, or use macOS Services to convert selected text directly inside supported applications. Preview the result before replacing anything, review exactly what changed, and undo the most recent clipboard conversion when needed. Key features: • Remove fonts, colors, links, and other rich-text formatting • Clean the current clipboard from the menu bar • Convert selected text through macOS Services • Compare the original and cleaned text side by side • Review changes to characters, spaces, blank lines, and invisible characters • Undo the most recent clipboard conversion • Launch automatically at login • Native macOS menu bar experience Unlock PlainTextMenu Pro permanently with a single purchase: • Automatically clean newly copied text • Built-in styles for email, code, and single-line text • Create, edit, import, and export custom cleaning styles • Remove invisible characters and tidy spaces and blank lines • Normalize line endings, non-breaking spaces, Unicode, quotes, and dashes • Convert tabs to spaces • Change text to uppercase, lowercase, or capitalize each word • Set a custom global shortcut and clean the clipboard without switching apps • Exclude selected applications from automatic cleaning • Access additional macOS Services for letter-case conversion Private by design: PlainTextMenu processes clipboard text entirely on your Mac. Clipboard content is never uploaded, shared, or stored as history. No account is required, and the app contains no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking SDKs. Temporary copies used for preview and undo remain only in memory and are discarded when they are no longer needed. Spend less time fixing pasted text. Whether you are writing email, collecting research, working with code, or moving content between documents, PlainTextMenu helps keep your text clean and consistent. Requires macOS 13.0 or later.
