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.

On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Base64 Encoder Decoder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Workflow has 176 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Base64 Encoder Decoder's written reviews are positive against 95% of Text Workflow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Base64 Encoder Decoder ships an update every 5 months, Text Workflow monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
