Clipboard Format

If you spend a lot of time copying and pasting formatted text from the Internet or Microsoft Word, you might just adore Clipboard Format: It strips out colors, formatting, bold text, and all the pesky things that make sharing or pasting text a pain between programs.

Sometimes, of course, it’s the rich text you want; the app offers a trigger so that you can have all text automatically converted or choose when to manually de-decorate your copied text. There are also options to auto-convert to all uppercase letters (if you’re feeling a HULK RAGE coming on), all lowercase (dabble in the poetry of e.e. cummings), or sentence capitalization.

The app has no settings menu, no other flashes, bangs, or whizzes. But it doesn’t really need to: It does what it says on the tin, with a few varied options.

Clipboard Format just lives on Status Bar.
