About Plain Paste
Plain Paste strips all formatting from your clipboard content on macOS, letting you paste clean, unformatted text anywhere. No more fighting with unwanted fonts, colors, sizes, and styles when copying text between applications — just pure, clean text every time.
Copying text from websites, emails, and documents often carries hidden formatting that disrupts the look of your destination document. The standard workaround — pasting into a plain text editor first, then copying again — wastes time. Plain Paste eliminates this friction by cleaning your clipboard automatically.
Access Plain Paste through a keyboard shortcut or the menu bar for instant formatting removal. It works system-wide across all macOS applications, so whether you are pasting into an email, a document, a presentation, or a form, you get clean text without the formatting baggage.
Who is Plain Paste for?

Why choose Plain Paste?
Plain Paste solves a universal frustration with a simple, elegant solution. The keyboard shortcut activation means formatting removal is instant — faster than any manual workaround you might currently use.
System-wide operation means it works everywhere on macOS, not just in specific apps. It is the kind of utility that becomes so essential you forget it is there — until you use a computer without it.
