About:
Trimmy is a macOS utility that automatically cleans and formats text pasted into the terminal. It removes common formatting artifacts like smart quotes, line breaks, and invisible characters, ensuring commands execute correctly on the first attempt. Its primary value is saving developers time and frustration by sanitizing clipboard content from web pages, documents, or messages.
Key Features:
  • Automatically cleans clipboard content on paste
  • Removes smart quotes, zero-width spaces, and line breaks
  • Lightweight, menu bar-only application with no UI clutter
  • Open-source and built with Swift for macOS
Use Cases:
  • Sanitizing code snippets from web documentation before pasting into terminal
  • Cleaning formatted text from emails or Slack messages for command-line use
Alternatives:
  • shell script aliases/functions – Manual and requires custom setup, while Trimmy is automatic and system-wide
