Clean Text
Improve text with AI
Only for Mac
Free · In-App Purchases
Clean Text helps you edit, correct, and organise text quickly, making everyday writing tasks smoother and more reliable. It’s designed for anyone who works with text — writers, students, developers, marketers, and anyone who copies and pastes content between apps. From fixing formatting problems to preparing clean, readable text for email, documents, websites, and social posts, Clean Text keeps your work consistent and polished.
Complete Text Cleanup
Clean Text solves the most common formatting issues that appear when copying text from emails, PDFs, web pages, or chat messages. Remove empty lines, extra spaces, tabs, unwanted characters, smart quotes, or line breaks in seconds. A rich set of cleanup tools helps you standardise content with one click, making messy text instantly usable.
AI-Assisted Editing
Clean Text includes built-in, on-device AI tools that work alongside all the classic text-cleaning and formatting features. You can choose to use these AI tools to fix grammar and punctuation, simplify complex sentences, generate short summaries, or instantly turn paragraphs into bulleted or numbered lists. The goal is to help you refine your text while keeping your content private on your Mac. These AI tools focus on precision and productivity, helping you achieve better results with less effort.
Custom Tasks for Faster Workflows
If you often repeat the same cleanup steps, you can combine them into a single custom task. Create your own workflows without coding. Power users can also add Regular Expressions to handle advanced transformations, making Clean Text adaptable to both simple and complex editing needs.
Seamless Integration with macOS and iOS
Write on your Mac and instantly access your texts on your iPhone or iPad through iCloud. Your most recent changes are always available on every device. Simply open the iCloud menu to send or retrieve your text with a single tap. (Clean Text for iOS is sold separately.)
Powerful Find & Replace Tools
Live search highlights results instantly, making it easy to locate words, phrases, or patterns in long documents. Options such as Ignore Case, Contains, Starts With, and Full Word give you precise control. Replace text confidently with real-time previews and step-by-step navigation.
Designed for the Mac Ecosystem
Clean Text fits naturally into the way you work:
• iCloud sync for seamless access across devices
• Share menu to send text to Mail, Messages, Notes, Reminders, and social apps
• Tabbed documents for managing multiple texts at once
• Menu bar tools for quick clipboard cleanup without switching apps
• macOS Services integration to process text from any application
• Shortcuts support for automation and custom workflows
• Unlimited undo and redo for safe, flexible editing
Made for Everyday Productivity
Whether you’re formatting a document, cleaning up a blog post, preparing an email, organising notes, or refining text for publication, Clean Text gives you reliable, fast, and consistent tools. It’s a practical companion for anyone who writes, edits, or formats text on the Mac, helping you focus on your content instead of fighting formatting problems.
Note on AI tools in Clean Text
All AI-based features in Clean Text are optional and clearly separated from the traditional tools, which continue to be developed and improved independently. No actions are performed automatically — AI features run only when the user chooses to use them.
