Clean up AI and web text in one tap. Copy an answer from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any website and it comes with junk: [1] citation tags, 【source】 marks, stray ** and ## symbols, curly quotes, invisible characters, broken line breaks. Text Workflow removes all of it and gives you clean text, ready to paste. Exact, every time, and private. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and your workflows sync over iCloud. NEW IN 3.0 • Clean AI Text: one action removes citations, hidden characters, extra spaces and Markdown symbols. You choose what goes, and code blocks are never touched. • Remove Citations: strips [1], [7][8], [web:1], 【4:0†source】 and Wikipedia notes. • Markdown tables: tables from AI answers now convert to Rich Text and HTML. Format Markdown Table lines up the columns. • Compare Input with Result: see exactly what changed, by character, word or line. • A new text editor with line numbers, visible spaces and tabs, a monospaced font and Find. • Gemini joins OpenAI and Claude, with the newest models. WHY TEXT WORKFLOW • Exact, every time. The same input always gives the same output. No hallucinations, no "regenerate". • Private. Built-in actions run on your device.
