Get Plain Text
Get Plain Text is a macOS utility designed to strip formatting and convert rich text into plain text. It allows users to quickly remove fonts, colors, styling, and other text attributes, outputting clean, unformatted text that can be pasted elsewhere without carrying over unwanted formatting. The app is typically used by writers, developers, and anyone who frequently needs to preserve text content while discarding visual formatting.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find substantial public information about Get Plain Text in our search — the developer's site and recent updates are not clearly indexed. Given that you are running this app today on an Intel Mac under Rosetta 2, contact the developer directly at the bundle ID contact or via the app's "About" or "Help" menu to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028, and an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely at that point. If the developer confirms no native build is forthcoming, consider alternatives like TextSoap (which has a native build and includes text-cleaning features), Typora (a native markdown editor with plain-text export), or the built-in command-line tool `textutil` (available free in Terminal) as a stopgap for basic text-format stripping.
