TextBuddy for macOS

What it does

TextBuddy is a Mac app for manipulating text. A Swiss Army knife for plain text that is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t. Faster than your IDE. Easier than the command line. Transform and extract text from images and audio, too.

Faster than your IDE. Easier than the command line. TextBuddy is a focused Mac workbench for transforming, sorting, filtering, capturing, and cleaning up text. TextBuddy keeps the text in front, with the stats, actions, and replacement controls close enough to use without becoming the whole point. Open TextBuddy, paste the mess, run the command, and get back to the thing you were actually doing. Convert case, clean whitespace, reformat lists, encode, decode, and reshape text without building a one-off script. Rearrange lines, remove duplicates, pull out matching data, and reduce a noisy block into exactly what you need.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
