What is Pure Paste? Description of Pure Paste 2036 chars
How many times have you pasted some text into an email and ended up with a mess of different font sizes?
Pure Paste lets you paste as plain text by default. It sits in the menu bar and clears formatting (fonts, colors, bold, links, tables, etc.) from the text you copy. However, it does not touch unrelated content like files, images, etc. It also ignores content copied from password managers.
You can also choose to manually clear formatting whenever needed instead of automatically.
The app is free without ads because I love making apps. Consider leaving a nice review.
■ Features
- Automatically clears formatting
- Hide menu bar icon
- Exclude certain apps
- Optionally preserve links
- Remove tracking parameters from URLs
- Normalize newlines and lists
- Launch at login
- Shortcuts support
■ Remove tracking parameters
Pure Paste supports 200+ common tracking parameters (e.g. Google UTM) and it has special support for removing tracking from links to Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok.
■ Bonus
If you have enabled the setting to remove tracking parameters from URLs when copying, the app also resolves some URLs to popular services offline whenever possible to improve the speed of opening links later on. These websites often add useless redirects when you copy links. For example, it can rewrite URLs like youtube.be, l.facebook.com, safelinks.protection.outlook.com, google.com/url?=…, etc, to its final destination.
■ FAQ
‣ Why not just use the “Paste and Match Style” menu item or “⌥⇧⌘V”?
- That menu item is not available in all apps.
- The keyboard shortcut is hard to remember and type.
- This app can exclude certain apps, preserve links, and also remove tracking parameters from URLs.
■ Privacy
The app accesses your clipboard but does not store or send it anywhere. It is not even able to connect to the internet due to self-imposed restrictions that are enforced by macOS (no network entitlement).
■ Support
You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.

Pure Paste Pros
✓ Fixes MS Teams pasting problems!I used to fight with MS Teams, PowerPoint, and Excel in the way it "interpreted" text all the time. This app lives in the menu bar and removes formatting--now I can copy text from any app and paste into Teams without it losing its mind! This free app fixes my biggest complaint that Microsoft caused. Mac Devs for the win! Thank you Sindre!.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Why is this NOT default behaviorI want to paste without formatting 99.9997% of the time. At lease with Mac apps, I can use cmd-shift-V but with Word and PPT I have to select "paste special" from a menu because there is no way to strip formatting as the default. And more times than not, MS Word pastes total garbage. What were they thinking!? I found Pure Paste by accicent and thank the maker that I did. As a professional writer, it saves me literally hours every day..Version: 1.3.9
