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.

Bodogen
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bodogen is a turn timer built for board games, with resource tracking in the same app. Whose turn is it, and how long do they have left? Nobody wants to be the person who says "are you done yet?" Bodogen takes both jobs off the table. IT SPEAKS, SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BOARD - Announces the turn out loud when it starts - Warns at three minutes, one minute and thirty seconds - Counts down the final five seconds Nobody has to play timekeeper. Everyone stays in the game. A KITCHEN TIMER DOESN'T KNOW WHOSE TURN IT IS Bodogen shows the current player's name across the whole screen, tells everyone who is up next, and lists how much time each player has left. You can read the table situation from the far side of the table. ONE TAP TO PASS Finish your turn, hit the big button, done - the same rhythm as a chess clock. When a player runs out, the timer keeps counting into the negative instead of stopping, so overtime house rules still work. YOUR REGULARS STAY SAVED Add your group once and they stay on the device. No retyping names every game night. From the second session on, pick who is playing, set the length, and start. RESOURCE TRACKING, ONE TAB AWAY - Define your own resources with names and colors to match the game - Large plus and minus buttons, usable one-handed - Tap the number for direct entry, and set caps so a value can't overshoot - Swipe a row to zero it instantly at the end of a round - Every change is logged, so you can check what you spent and when No more miscounts, and no more recounting a pile you knocked over. SAVE A RULE SET, REUSE IT NEXT TIME Name a resource setup and it stays. Next time you play that game, pick it from the list. A game you had to pause picks up exactly where it stopped. SHARE RULES BY QR CODE, WITH NO NETWORK Turn your resource setup into a QR code and pass it around the table. The settings themselves live inside the code - no server, no room ID, no account. Scanning restores everything on that device alone. It works in a basement with no signal, and in airplane mode. GOOD FOR - Game nights, board game cafes, gaming weekends - Heavy euros, worker placement, area majority - anything with long thinking - Tournaments and timed teaching games - Talk-driven games such as tabletop RPGs and social deduction - Chess, shogi and go, as a game clock NO ACCOUNT, NO NETWORK Everything runs on your device. No sign-in, no connection, and none of your data leaves the phone. Bodogen: for game nights where nobody has to ask "are you done yet?"

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Text Workflow at none against Bodogen's shown. Bodogen's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
