Fix messy text in one tap. Text Workflow cleans, converts and formats text with more than 50 actions, and saves the steps as workflows you run again with one tap. Clean up an answer from ChatGPT, text from a PDF, a list from a spreadsheet or a page from the web, then sort it, number it, change its case, or turn it into JSON, CSV, Markdown or rich text. Exact every time, private, and on iPhone, iPad and Mac. HOW IT HELPS • Paste AI answers anywhere: remove [1] citation tags, 【source】 marks, stray ** and ## and hidden characters, or turn Markdown into rich text for Pages, Word and Mail • Sound like yourself: AI Writing Check highlights the words and marks that make text read as AI-written • Fix text from PDFs and scans: rejoin broken lines and hyphenated words, remove page numbers and double spaces • Tidy lists: trim, sort by any word, number, and remove duplicates and empty lines • Make the same edit everywhere at once: find and replace with regular expressions, add prefixes and suffixes, change case • Convert data and code: JSON, CSV, YAML, XML and Markdown tables, with code in color DO IT ONCE. THEN IT'S ONE TAP. Chain actions into a workflow and each step feeds the next. The text job you repeat every week becomes a single tap. • Every action and workflow is a Shortcuts action: clean your clipboard with one tap, or build automations that run on their own • Send text from any app with the Share sheet • If… Else steps, nested workflows, and regular expressions that run a workflow only on the parts that match • Your workflows sync to your Mac and iPad with iCloud • Made for iPhone Duo and landscape: your text gets the whole screen NEW IN 3.5: TEXTS Keep the texts you use again and again, like replies, prompts, signatures and templates. Load one with a tap, search by name or content, pin your favorites, and save text from any app with the Share sheet. With Sync with iCloud on, they're on your Mac and iPad too. Otherwise they stay on this device. Also new: Markdown Table to CSV, and Replace Text understands character codes like \u00A0. WHY TEXT WORKFLOW • Exact every time. The same input always gives the same output. No "regenerate". • Private. Built-in actions run on your device, with no account. • Compare Input with Result to see exactly what changed, by character, word or line. 50+ TEXT ACTIONS, INCLUDING • Editing and lines: find and replace (plain or RegEx), prefix and suffix, sort, number, break and trim lines, remove empty lines, duplicates and extra spaces • Cleanup: Clean AI Text, AI Writing Check, Remove Citations, Fix PDF Text, remove Markdown or HTML, quotes, accents, invisible characters • Case and style: UPPER, lower, Title, camelCase, spell out and format numbers, Style Text • Data formats: Markdown to Rich Text and HTML, JSON and YAML, JSON and CSV, XML to JSON, CSV and Markdown tables • Utilities: Base64, URL encoding, encryption, QR codes, UUIDs, text statistics, dates, math, Run Script AI, ON YOUR TERMS Add an optional AI step to any workflow with your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key, any OpenAI-compatible service, or Apple's on-device model.

TypeCalc is a visual calculator canvas for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Instead of losing your work in a calculator tape, you can place calculations on a flexible canvas and keep the relationships between numbers visible. CALCULATE VISUALLY Build calculations wherever they make sense. Arrange related ideas together, label important values, and keep each step visible as your worksheet develops. LINK VALUES Use a number or result from one calculation inside another. TypeCalc keeps linked values connected so dependent results update with the source. EXPLORE WHAT CHANGES Attach sliders to numeric values and graph changing results. Test ranges, compare scenarios, and understand how one input affects the rest of your work. KEEP YOUR CONTEXT Add labels to inputs and results so your worksheets remain understandable when you return to them. Create multiple canvases for estimates, planning, learning, and calculations you revisit often. WORK ACROSS APPLE DEVICES Use the compact keypad on iPhone, a touch-friendly canvas on iPad, and physical keyboard input on Mac. CloudKit keeps your canvases available through your own iCloud account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN TypeCalc includes no advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. Worksheet data stays on your device or in the app's CloudKit container when you use iCloud features. TypeCalc is useful for everyday arithmetic, budgets, discounts, savings and loan scenarios, conversions, scientific calculations, and any problem where seeing the relationships between numbers matters.
