CleanCopy cleans up the terminal’s little crimes

A macOS command-line utility that tidies terminal text before it reaches the clipboard.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The page demonstrates the workflow with shell commands and a before-and-after clipboard example rather than relying only on feature claims. Its cleaning model is deliberately narrow: it removes shared left margins, repairs sentences broken at the terminal window width, and exposes characters such as ZWSP, NBSP, BOM, and ANSI escape codes. The stated implementation is local, with a global npm installation and support for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
