Description
If you’ve used the copy/paste functions in Mac OS before, you’ll appreciate how valuable Get Plain Text is! We use it ourselves every day. This app will lower your stress level and save you tons of time!
---Ready for Yosemite!---
Get Plain Text is a practical utility program to process text within Mac OS: It converts copied text into plain text.
It instantly removes everything unneeded: colours, typeface size, style (for example, boldface/italics), hyper-links, images, etc. In other words, everything that isn’t plain text! Now you can put plain text in your letters and documents using the copy/paste functions, without having to clean it up manually.
Get Plain Text will convert any bit of text into plain text, no matter where you copied it from (a website, PDF document or elsewhere). You can activate the feature manually, or check “Automatically remove formatting” to make the app take care of it every time you copy something.

At last… something that just works.
This is a wonderful program that has solved all of my frustrations with copy and paste editing on Mac. Finally, a solution after years of having to re-size and re-font all the material I moved from one document to another. I do a lot of writing for my work and found it frustrating that every time I wanted to copy notes from one document over to another required lots of extra fussing around with formatting. Not to mention the nightmare of copying quotes taken from the internet, that would be embedded with hidden HTML fonts and links that I would not even know were there.
Now all those problems have been solved with this one, perfect app. It just runs quietly in the background, doing exactly what it's supposed to, copying and pasting clean and simple text. Furthermore, I was able to reroute Apple's unnecessarily convoluted 'Paste and Match Formatting' command to a simple CMD-V function and, voila! Now it runs just the way it should.

Very useful app.
I often have to compy text from formatted sources (webpages, pdf’s, etc.) and I hoped this would elimintate the need to ‘paste special’ (in Word) or the equivalent. I am not disappointed, this app works well providing I remember to toggle it on/off when I need/don’t need it! Interestingly, I find it more useful to keep it ‘on’. I recommed it if you find getting rid of the formatting applied to text a problem. Thanks.
It just sits in the menu bar, working invisibly!
At first, I was tabbing through all running programs/apps looking for the user interface.
Eventually I spotted the blue 'T' had appeared by the clock in the top-right corner menu bar.
I turn 'automatic' on/off when I need it.
I'm sure it does much more if I could be bothered to read 'Help', but that's enough for me!
