About

Truly Simple Text Converter

Features
Read full description

Truly Simple Text Converter is a fast, private utility for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Paste messy text, build a sequence of transformations, and copy the clean result. Designed for writers, developers, students, and anyone who wrangles text, this app does exactly what you need it to do without accounts, network calls, or bloat. How It Works: Instead of pressing one-off buttons, you build a visible pipeline. Add as many steps as you need—trim whitespace, strip HTML, convert to camelCase—and your text will change accordingly. Features: • Recipes: Save your favorite chain of transformations as a Recipe. Run complex formatting workflows with a single tap. Export, share, and back up Recipes as small .tstrecipe files. • Live Stats: See character, word, line, and sentence counts, plus estimated reading time, as you type. • Everywhere You Work: Send text directly to the app using the iOS Share Sheet, macOS Services menu, or our native Apple Shortcuts action. • Fully Native: Built natively for Apple platforms with full support for Dark Mode, VoiceOver, and Dynamic Type. • Private & Offline: Truly Simple Text Converter collects zero data. Everything runs securely on your device. 37 Free Transformations: Every single text tool is completely free to use forever. • Case: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case, camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case. • Cleanup: Trim whitespace, collapse extra spaces, remove line breaks, delete empty or duplicate lines, fix smart/straight quotes, and remove accents. • Lines: Sort lines alphabetically, reverse order, number lines, and add prefixes or suffixes. • Encode / Format: URL encode/decode, Base64 encode/decode, strip HTML, and convert Markdown to plain text. • Style Text: Generate Bold, Italic, Monospace, Cursive, Gothic, Circled, Squared, Fullwidth, and Upside-down text, or strip existing styles back to plain text. • Find & Replace: Quickly swap words with optional case sensitivity.
