"Essential utility works perfectly."
Version: Plain Clip 2.4
Pros
It does exactly what it says it will do without surprises. I use Butler to invoke it with a key-stroke combination. It does its job then disappears. Perfect.
Cons
None that I can find.
Summary
Not every application has text formatting stripping capabilities. This utility overcomes that limitation. I use a multiple clipboard utility which can also strip out formatting but have encountered problems using it with Adobe Creative Suite applications, which I use extensively. Plain Clip works perfectly with CS.

"Flawlessly strips formatting from clipboard items."
Version: Plain Clip 2.4
Pros
Simple to use and works flawlessly.
Can be invoked with a keyboard command.Cons
No downsides.
Summary
This little program runs when you invoke it, strips the formatting from an item on your clipboard, then quits on it's own to keep from cluttering your memory. Love it.

"Indispensable utility that I use constantly."
Version: Plain Clip 2.2.1
Pros
A one trick pony that performs that trick perfectly, it does exactly what it is supposed to.
Cons
Nothing to report.
Summary
Although many apps have the ability to paste without formatting, Plain Clip works with everything. By using Butler to invoke Plain Clip I can strip the formatting with 3 keystrokes no matter which software I am currently using. Simple but effective.

"I use it every day - new features add versatility"
Version: Plain Clip 2.2.1
Pros
It's always ready in the DOCK to strip formatting for all copy and paste functions. I hadn't upgraded since v1 and love the additional Shift-Click preference options.
Cons
Nothing yet
Summary
Particularly useful when pasting something into an email and you want it to appear in your email's default font and size instead of the formatting in the source document, email, or web page.
The Shift-Click access to preferences allow you to set what will be stripped from copied text before you paste it into the destination location (such as invisible control characters, line breaks, etc.) -

I am always needing to remove formating from web and email text.
This is really slick! -
"Superb......"
Version: Plain Clip 1.0.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'm always copying & pasting text from websites which I then just want as plain text. This is a saviour to me. I've got it launching with keyboard Maestro.
I'd love to find a similar app that removes line spacing too. -
"My rescue!"
Version: Plain Clip 1.0.1
Summary

As a graphic designer I used to kill those silly text styles this way:
1. Command+C in word processor
2. Switch to BBEdit
3. Command+N
4. Command+V
5. Command+C
6. Switch to layout application
7. Command+V
It's no fun at all... but now I found this very cool and quickly working tool. I combined it with Spark, a neat Hot Key application that is powerful - and also Freeware! You can find it here:

"Brilliant little app"
Version: Plain Clip 1.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Ideal enhancement when using word processors that can't paste without formatting. Anything pasted from the clipboard acquires the formatting of the target context.
Seems to me much neater and simpler as it is than as another item in the cluttered service menu.
