Editorial interest 81/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A local macOS clipboard manager that removes zero-width characters, Unicode lookalikes, markdown marks, and typographic punctuation before text reaches your paste target.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The visible sandbox compares a 406-character source with a cleaned result and identifies the transformations it applied, including Unicode normalization, dash conversion, quote conversion, markdown removal, and trailing-space cleanup. The homepage also describes a clipboard-history workflow that preserves both versions and a file workflow that returns a cleaned copy without modifying the original. The downloadable Mac app is presented as local and private, with Accessibility permission required for its system-level operation.
