CleanPaste v0.1.0

First public release of CleanPaste — a tiny macOS menu-bar utility that pastes your clipboard with line-break artifacts and formatting noise cleaned up, triggered by a hotkey (default ⌥⌘V).

Features

• Smart line-break handling (collapse hard-wrapped prose, preserve paragraph breaks)
• Rejoin hyphenated words split across lines
• Collapse multiple spaces, normalize smart quotes, trim whitespace
• Restores your original clipboard ~150 ms after pasting
• Configurable transforms + Launch at Login in Preferences

Install

1. Download and unzip CleanPaste-v0.1.0.zip, move CleanPaste.app to /Applications.
2. First launch: right-click the app → Open → confirm (it's signed ad-hoc, not notarized, so Gatekeeper warns once).
3. Grant Accessibility permission when prompted — needed to send the paste keystroke.

Requirements

• macOS 14+
• Apple Silicon (arm64). This build is not universal; Intel Macs are not supported.
