Smart Copy

Clean, normalize, and remember everything you copy — smart punctuation, per-site rules, clipboard history, and more.

Smart Copy quietly fixes text as you copy it, so what you paste is what you actually meant to grab. Ever copy something off the web and get a mess of extra spaces, broken line breaks, curly "smart" quotes that break in code editors, or leftover markdown syntax? Smart Copy fixes all of that automatically, the instant you hit copy. No extra steps, no dialogs, nothing to remember. WHAT IT DOES - Strips extra spaces and collapses messy line breaks - Converts curly quotes, dashes, and ellipses to plain ASCII - Removes stray markdown syntax (bold, links, headers) when your selection grabs raw source - Optionally strips emojis - Leaves code blocks alone - indentation and formatting inside code snippets is never touched - Never touches what you type - only copies from the page, never your own input fields MAKE IT YOURS - Give any site its own rules - up to 5 sites, each rule set to Default, On, or Off independently - Keep a searchable history of your last 100 cleaned copies, with one-click re-copy - One keyboard shortcut to pause/resume everywhere, instantly - A small on-page confirmation shows exactly what was cleaned on every copy BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - 100% local - nothing you copy is ever sent anywhere - Free, with no account, no signup, no nagging - Minimal permissions - only what's actually used, nothing requested "just in case" - One-person project, actively maintained If Smart Copy saves you some friction, there's a coffee button in the settings page. Entirely optional, always will be.
