Text Wash

I’m tired of having to constantly copy+paste text between Photoshop and a text editor just to remove text of any formatting. All of this is because Photoshop and a surprising number of programs don’t have Edit -> Paste and match style.

So I made a tiny little mac app. It’s called Text Wash.

To use Text Wash, simply leave it running in the background. When you want text to have formatting removed, copy the text and change to the Text Wash application window. Text Wash will automatically look at any text in your computer’s pasteboard, remove the formatting and put the plain (utf-8) text back into your pasteboard. Finally, return back to your application and paste the desired text.

It’s completely free. You can download it here: http://www.geofcrowl.com/textwash/
