Paste Plain Text is a lightweight utility that strips formatting from clipboard content and pastes plain text instead. It's designed for users who frequently need to insert text without preserving fonts, colors, links, or other styling—a common need in writing, coding, and data entry workflows. The app typically runs in the background as a menu bar utility, providing quick access to paste-as-plain-text functionality. It's especially useful for Mac users who work with multiple documents, terminals, or text editors where unwanted formatting can cause issues or break code syntax.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Great news: a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) version of Paste Plain Text has been confirmed running on real Macs.
