About:
Plain Clip is a macOS utility that automatically strips rich text formatting from your clipboard contents.

This ensures clean, unformatted text for pasting into code editors, terminals, and other applications.
Key Features:
  • Automatic clipboard monitoring and sanitization
  • Preserves text content while removing HTML, RTF, and styling
  • Lightweight background operation with minimal system impact
  • Customizable hotkeys and filtering rules
Use Cases:
  • Copying code snippets from websites without bringing HTML formatting
  • Preparing text for terminal commands and code editors
  • Sanitizing text before pasting into email or messaging applications
Alternatives:
  • Paste – More feature-rich clipboard manager with plain text conversion
  • TextSoap – Advanced text processing with complex automation rules
