App-aware copy/paste that removes unsupported formatting
Text copied from AI tools or the web often pastes with fonts and headings you'd never use yourself, especially in email or chat. It immediately looks pasted. Paste text-only fixes the mess, but also removes bold text, lists, and structure, forcing you to rebuild everything by hand. Purifai cleans the text so it fits naturally in the app you're pasting into. It removes weird formatting while keeping paragraphs, lists, and spacing intact. Lightweight App (11MB). Fully offline. No tracking.
I struggled with this problem for a long time. Before, I used to paste the text into Messenger first to strip the formatting, then copy it from there onward. But later I found Shift+Option+Command+V ;)
