Clean up messy AI & web text — in seconds. Paste an answer out of ChatGPT, Claude, or any website and it's full of formatting garbage: stray markdown, [1] citation tags, curly quotes, invisible characters, broken line breaks. Text Workflow strips the junk and hands back clean, paste-ready text — exactly, every time, without your text ever leaving your device. It's the fast, private, deterministic cleanup layer for the AI era. And it runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with your workflows synced over iCloud. WHY TEXT WORKFLOW • Exact, every time — Deterministic transforms. No hallucinations, no "regenerate." The same input always gives the same output. • Nothing leaves your device — Every transformation runs on-device and offline. Never paste sensitive text into a website or a chatbot just to reformat it. • Built for the whole job — Chain 50+ actions into a workflow, save it, and run it with one click forever. • On every Apple device — A real native app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Build a workflow on your Mac and run it from your phone, synced over iCloud. CLEAN UP AI & WEB TEXT • Remove Markdown syntax • Markdown → Rich Text — paste formatted text straight into Pages, Word, Mail, or Notes • Markdown → HTML • Convert to plain text • Straight ↔ curly quotes • Remove accents & diacritics • Delete invisible and non-printable characters • Strip HTML tags BUILD POWERFUL WORKFLOWS Chain actions together and the output of each step feeds the next. Turn the repetitive text job you do every week into a single click. • Drag to reorder, toggle steps on and off, nest workflows inside workflows • Precise with Regular Expressions — extract, replace with capture groups, or apply a workflow only to the parts that match a pattern • Save your workflows and sync them across all your devices with iCloud 50+ TEXT ACTIONS, INCLUDING • Editing & lines — find & replace (plain or RegEx), add prefix/suffix, insert text, sort/number/break/trim lines, remove empty lines, line breaks, duplicates and extra spaces, filter and extract by pattern • Case & style — UPPER, lower, Title, camelCase, PascalCase, spell out numbers, format numbers, Style Text (bold, italic, circled, and more), reverse, shuffle, repeat • Data formats — beautify JSON, XML, HTML; JSON ↔ YAML; JSON ↔ CSV; XML → JSON; CSV → Markdown table • Encoding & utilities — Base64, URL encode/decode, encrypt/decrypt with a password, generate QR code, generate UUID, text statistics, reading time, date converter, math, shorten URLs DEEP APPLE INTEGRATION • Apple Shortcuts — every workflow is available as a Shortcuts action; automate text across your whole system with Siri, triggers, and schedules • Menu bar & Services on Mac — transform selected text from anywhere without opening the app AI, ON YOUR TERMS AI is one optional step among 50+ — not the whole app. Add a custom-prompt action mid-workflow using your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You choose the model, you pay the provider directly, and nothing routes through us.
