24 alternatives to PasteClean
Hi HN, I built PasteClean, a small, free, client-side tool to fix a problem I kept running into when pasting ChatGPT output into Outlook and other email clients. When you paste AI-generated text into Outlook, bullet points and paragraphs often end up with extra spacing. This happens because of how lists and paragraphs are represented in HTML and how Outlook renders them. PasteClean lets you: - Paste content from ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/Perplexity (or anywhere) - Optionally edit it - Clean up spacing, lists, and formatting - Copy the result as cleaned HTML Everything runs…

My partner usually writes substack posts which I then mirror to our website’s blog section. To automate this, I made a simple tool to scrape the post and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily. This might be useful to others as well. Oh and ofcourse you can instruct GPT to make any final edits :D

AI Hotkeys▲78I caught myself copy-pasting into ChatGPT like 50 times a day. Too lazy for that, so I built a shortcut. Select text anywhere on Mac, press a hotkey — text gets rewritten / translated / summarized / whatever, right where you are. No tabs, no copy-paste dance. Native Swift app, hooks into macOS accessibility APIs. Bring your own API key and calls go straight to OpenAI / Anthropic. Or just use the free tier — 20 requests/day, no signup. https://aihotkeys.tech Curious for the feedback

I built a small desktop tool called PasteClean to solve a personal annoyance: sharing URLs filled with tracking garbage (utm_source, fbclid, etc.). It runs in the background and automatically cleans URLs in your clipboard when you copy them. It handles 50+ tracking parameters and can also unshorten links (bit.ly, t.co) to reveal the destination and clean them before pasting. Tech stack is Electron/React/TypeScript. The core privacy features are free. I added a "Pro" lifetime license for some advanced features (unshortening, batch mode) to support development.
