Clean Text 26 for Mac: A New Era of Text Cleaning, Now Powered by Artificial Intelligence

Launching this December — and when you buy Clean Text today, you’ll automatically receive your Clean Text 26 license by email at no extra cost.

For years, Clean Text has been a trusted tool for anyone who works daily with text that needs to be cleaned, formatted, or transformed. With the upcoming version 26, arriving in December, we’re introducing advanced on-device AI features and a series of targeted improvements that dramatically speed up your workflow — often cutting processing time in half, especially with complex or multi-source content. Purchasing Clean Text today gives you the current version and the new Clean Text 26 license automatically, at no additional cost.

AI Features

Clean Text 26 introduces a new generation of AI-powered tools designed to work directly on your text and accelerate every stage of editing, cleanup, and transformation. These features operate across three complementary layers:
1. Entity Recognition
2. AI Edits (professional, preconfigured actions)
3. AI Assistant (custom transformations driven by your instructions)

1. Entity Recognition
A feature already available in previous versions and now fully integrated into the new AI system. Clean Text automatically identifies people, places, and organizations, making it easier to navigate and analyze complex text.

2. AI Edits
AI Edits are intelligent, ready-to-use actions crafted for professional results — including text correction, rewriting, structured summaries, and tone and terminology consistency. You can also include AI Edits inside your custom Tasks to automate complete workflows.

3. AI Assistant
The AI Assistant understands natural-language instructions and applies personalized transformations directly to your text. Ask it to “make this clearer,” “organize these ideas,” or “summarize while keeping the essential points” — all without rewriting anything manually. Its goal is simple: help you improve, simplify, restructure, or unify your content instantly.

Built-In Privacy

All AI features in Clean Text 26 are fully on-device. Nothing is uploaded, stored remotely, or shared. Your text stays entirely on your Mac, under your full control at all times.

Enhanced Tasks

With My Tasks, you can combine cleanup actions, typographic tools, AI Edits, and custom transformations into a single automated sequence. This removes repetitive steps and ensures consistent, professional results with one click — perfect for optimizing your daily routines.

Everyday Cleaning Improvements

Clean Text 26 brings refinements to everyday features you rely on: better recognition of Unicode spaces and line breaks, more accurate handling of broken lines and paragraphs, smarter removal of empty lines and extra spacing, improved typographic conversions (curly, angular, Asian, and French quotation marks), and a new Unicode Cleaner that removes invisible characters and normalizes text from different sources. These upgrades make workflows faster and more precise — especially when working with transcripts, voice notes, or content copied from the web.

Advanced Tools for Technical Content

Version 26 also adds new tools tailored for technical users: Markdown to Text, Markdown Escape/Unescape, JSON Escape/Unescape, Friendly URL Encode, Full Percent Encode, and an improved URL Decode engine. Everything is integrated into one clean interface with no need for external utilities.

Quick Clipboard Actions from the Menu Bar

A new menu bar icon lets you apply transformations directly to your clipboard text without switching to the main app window — so you can keep working in Pages, Safari, Notes, or any other app while staying in your flow.

Upgrade Path for Long-Time Users

If you purchased Clean Text more than a year ago, you’ll have access to a dedicated upgrade path with a special discounted price, designed to ensure continuity and protect the investment you’ve made over the years.

A New Generation of Clean Text

With its integrated AI, improved cleanup tools, and advanced new capabilities, Clean Text 26 allows you to work with complex text faster, more consistently, and more professionally — often in half the time required by traditional workflows. It’s a new generation of tools designed for those who write, edit, refine, and manage text every day. Discover how Clean Text 26 can transform your workflow.
