Nimble Text · for Mac

Rich text in. Plain text out.

Copied something from a web page, a PDF or an email, and it pastes with the fonts, colors and links still attached? Open Nimble Text. The formatting is gone, your words are there. Tweak them if you like, close the window, and paste clean text anywhere.

Copy, close, paste

Copy

From a web page, an email, a PDF, a chat. Formatting and all.

Open Nimble Text

Your clipboard is already there, as plain text, cursor parked at the end. Fix that typo while you're at it.

Close, then paste

⌘W or ⌘Q puts the clean text back on the clipboard. Paste it wherever it's going.

A few handy extras

Copy All, anytime

Need the text without closing? ⇧⌘C copies everything in one go.

Save when you want to

⌘S saves a plain-text file: .txt, .md, .csv, .json, whatever you type. We don't argue about extensions.

Nothing else

No tabs, no toolbars, no settings to fiddle with. One calm window, clean text, and your Mac's light or dark look.

Perfect for

The fine print (it's short)

A native macOS app built with SwiftUI. Sandboxed and offline: no network access, no tracking, no accounts. Your text never leaves your Mac.

Copy. Clean. Paste. Repeat.

The smallest app on your Mac might end up being the one you use most.
