Field notes
The interface divides a regular expression into visual tokens and displays its matches against sample text, with separate Search and Replace modes and a visible Unit Tests area. The page describes a replacement pipeline that can reuse capture groups and apply transformations such as capitalization, date conversion, UUID insertion, and match indexing. It also presents a history feature and says the tool is available on the web, Mac, and iPad.
