NeatPaste cleans up pasted text and lets you compare key values with the original before you copy, export, or share it. ā–  CLEAN UP PASTED TEXT Choose from three cleanup modes. Smart Clean Rejoins broken lines, removes extra spaces, changes curly quotes to straight quotes, and removes unwanted invisible characters. AI Clean Removes # and ## heading marks and ** emphasis asterisks from AI responses while keeping bullet markers intact. Turns mid-sentence em dashes into commas in English text, while preserving dashes in number ranges, headings, code, and URLs. PDF Repair Rejoins lines copied from PDFs, repairs words split by end-of-line hyphens, and removes lines that contain only page numbers. You can also run individual actions for line breaks, spaces, quotes, blank lines, full-width characters, dashes, and emoji. Only the selected action runs. ā–  CHECK EACH CLEANUP After every cleanup, NeatPaste compares numbers, amounts, dates, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, lists, headings, and other items before and after formatting. If nothing changed, you can continue to copy or share. If something changed, the app shows the affected category and count. ā–  COMPARE WITH THE ORIGINAL Open Check from the bottom bar to list the amounts, dates, numbers, URLs, and other values in your text. Add the original text to see whether any values changed. Check never rewrites your text. Viewing the results, checking invisible characters, and copying the verification record are free. ā–  COPY AND EXPORT Copy the cleaned text, export it as a PDF, or share it. Undo restores the text from before the last cleanup. You can also send text to NeatPaste from another app's share menu. ā–  PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pro includes: • Detailed before-and-after changes • Selective restore • Protected terms for names, companies, and model numbers • Cleanup inside email quotes and indented lists • Formatting for different destinations • Removal of repeated company or document title lines from PDFs • Choose what to compare after cleanup • Before-and-after details in Check and one-tap copying of original values • Locations of invisible characters by line and character position There is no subscription. One purchase works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and can be restored from the purchase screen. ā–  PRIVACY All processing stays on your device. Your text is never uploaded and is not kept as history. Text you send from the Share Sheet is held on your device for up to 5 minutes only so the app can receive it, and is deleted once received or at the next launch. No external AI service, account, or ads.
