TextClean — Smart Text Transform & Cleanup

Tracking since Apr 3, 2026.

Changelog

• Apr 24, 2026
  description

  TextClean gives you 14 text transforms accessible from your right-click menu or a clean popup interface. No account needed, no data leaves your browser.
  
  FEATURES:
  • Change Case — UPPER, lower, Title, Sentence, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case
  • Clean Up — Fix whitespace, strip HTML tags, convert smart/straight quotes
  • Line Tools — Remove duplicate lines, sort lines alphabetically
  • URL Tools — Convert bare URLs to Markdown links
  • Popup Workbench — Paste text, click a transform, copy the result
  
  HOW IT WORKS:
  1. Select text on any page
  2. Right-click → TextClean → pick a transform
  3. In editable fields: text is replaced in-place
  4. On regular pages: transformed text is copied to clipboard
  
  Or use the popup: click the icon, paste text, transform, and copy.
  
  PRIVACY:
  Your text never leaves your browser. Zero data collection. Zero tracking. Everything runs locally.
  
  Perfect for writers, editors, developers, and anyone who copies text from the web.

  TextClean is a fast, keyboard-first text toolkit for writers, editors, developers, and anyone who pastes text around the web.
  
  29 built-in transforms — change case, strip HTML, fix whitespace, convert encodings, sort lines, reverse, JSON-prettify, URL/HTML encode/decode, Base64, ROT13, quote lists for SQL/CSV, and more. Run them from the right-click menu, a command palette, a popup, or a workbench side panel.

  FEATURES
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  • Command Palette (⌘⇧P) — Fuzzy-find any transform, custom or built-in. Arrow keys + Enter to apply.
  
  • Workbench Side Panel (⌘⇧Y) — A 4-tab workspace: Transform, History, Custom, Settings. Batch mode, single mode, chain mode. Live diff view showing exactly what changed.
  
  • Right-click Anywhere — Every transform lives in your context menu. Select text on any page, right-click → TextClean → pick a transform.
  
  • Keyboard Shortcuts — ⌘⇧U UPPERCASE · ⌘⇧L lowercase · ⌘⇧P palette · ⌘⇧Y workbench. Shortcuts work in text fields and on regular pages (result copies to clipboard).
  
  • Custom Transforms — Define your own regex find-&-replace rules with flags, names, and icons. Custom transforms appear in the context menu and palette alongside built-ins.
  
  • Chain Mode — Pipe transforms in sequence (e.g., "Strip HTML → Trim → Title Case → URL to Markdown"). Save chains as one-click shortcuts.
  
  • Smart Suggestions — TextClean detects messy input patterns (smart quotes, HTML, redundant whitespace, inconsistent casing) and suggests the right transform.
  
  • Theme & Streak — Light, dark, or system theme. A subtle daily streak badge for those who like a nudge.
