Plain Clip
Plain Clip is a lightweight clipboard utility that removes formatting from copied text, leaving only plain text. When you copy formatted text from web browsers, word processors, or other applications, Plain Clip automatically strips all styling, fonts, colors, and other formatting—giving you clean, unformatted text ready to paste anywhere. This is particularly useful for writers, developers, and anyone who frequently needs to copy text without carrying over unwanted formatting from the source. It sits quietly in the background and helps maintain consistency when working across multiple applications.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionPlain Clip has been discontinued and is no longer maintained by its developer. Since no native Apple Silicon version was released, the app will not run on newer Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta 2. For a replacement, consider using **Paste** (by Pastebot), **ClipboardManager Pro**, or the built-in macOS feature of using Cmd+Shift+V in many applications to paste text without formatting. Alternatively, **Tot** offers a simple, modern clipboard and text management solution. If you need just the plain-text paste functionality, many modern text editors (including free options like BBEdit) include a "Paste Special" feature that strips formatting—often without needing a dedicated utility.
