Pure Paste Overview

What is Pure Paste? Pure Paste is a free app that sits in the menu bar and automatically clears formatting from text that is copied, removing fonts, colors, bold, links, tables, etc. It does not affect unrelated content like files or images, and it also ignores content copied from password managers. The app can be set to exclude certain apps, preserve links, and remove tracking parameters from URLs. Pure Paste supports over 200 common tracking parameters and has special support for removing tracking from links to Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok. The app does not store or send any clipboard data and has no network entitlement. Users can contact the developer through the feedback button in the app or via email.

Software Reviews and Criticism

    Where have you been all my life!

    I can't tell you how many times I wished I had an app like this when pasting stuff into email messages. And then I trip across this while checking out some of the author's other apps (highly recommended). It's like fate finally smiled on me. Do yourself a favor and download this now!

    This will save so much hassle

    Such a simple and useful app. I was constantly having to undo pasting after the formatting caused problems and then going back and redoing by mousing to 'paste without formatting'... This solves this annoyance and makes work easier.

    Seriously Simple and Easy

    This is such an awesome app and makes my life so much easier. I work with copy/pasting and the formatting so incredibly annoying. This has really turned that around.

    Does what the label says

    Great for getting rid of that unwanted text formatting when all you want is the text. I often paste stuff from elsewhere into Mail or Word and don't want the formatting.


  • By Ultra Man 7

    Should be an OS feature

    This is another one of those apps that works so well, you wonder why it wasn't already part of PC... It was an easy purchase.
