Paste Plain Text
Universal version seen at v1.0.8 · Reported by 9 Macs in the community.
Paste Plain Text is a lightweight macOS utility that automatically strips formatting, styling, fonts, colors, and hyperlinks from text you copy to your clipboard. It runs as a discreet menu bar app that lets you toggle the feature on or off with a single click, making it ideal for users who frequently need to paste content without unwanted formatting—such as writers, developers, and knowledge workers who move text between rich-text editors, web browsers, and plain-text applications. Instead of manually using keyboard shortcuts or menu commands each time, Paste Plain Text handles the conversion automatically in the background.
