PasteKlean
PasteKlean is a zero-backend, ultra-lightweight system-tray utility that strips formatting, smart quotes, HTML, and whitespace from anything you copy.
Simple toggles let you choose exactly how your clipboard is cleaned every time you copy.
Remove accidental leading and trailing spaces from copied text.
Convert Windows and old Mac line breaks into clean, consistent newlines.
Turn runs of tabs and spaces into a single space for compact output.
Strip extra blank lines when you need a tight, clean block of text.
Remove leftover HTML markup copied from web pages and documents.
Convert curly quotes, em-dashes, and ellipses into plain ASCII characters.
PasteKlean lives in your system tray and monitors the clipboard. Choose your rules once, then copy normally.
Enable the cleaning rules you want, set a global shortcut, and choose whether to start at login. No wizard, no account, no unnecessary options.
When you click "Clean Now" or press your shortcut, PasteKlean tells you exactly what happened. Clean text is already on your clipboard, ready to paste.

Your clipboard never leaves your device. PasteKlean is zero-backend by design.
