App-aware copy/paste that removes unsupported formatting

Text copied from AI tools or the web often pastes with fonts and headings you'd never use yourself, especially in email or chat. It immediately looks pasted. Paste text-only fixes the mess, but also removes bold text, lists, and structure, forcing you to rebuild everything by hand. Purifai cleans the text so it fits naturally in the app you're pasting into. It removes weird formatting while keeping paragraphs, lists, and spacing intact. Lightweight App (11MB). Fully offline. No tracking.
Simple, clear, and incredibly useful!

@jojo_li Thank you!!

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Purifai because I use ChatGPT for almost every email I write, but I hate that it never looks "native" when I paste it in. The headings are huge (who even uses headings in a normal email anyway?) and the fonts never match. There is usually that weird, massive space between paragraphs that doesn't feel like a normal line-break. It’s just obvious it was copied from an AI service.
For a while, I used "Paste as Plain Text," but that's almost worse. It strips the fonts, but it also nukes all the bolding, bullet points, and quotes. I'd end up spending 5 minutes manually re-formatting the whole thing just to make the email readable. I even caught myself pasting text into my browser’s URL bar just to strip the junk, which felt like a pretty pathetic workaround lol.
Purifai is my fix for this. It acts as a middleman that cleans the "junk" while keeping your structure intact based on where you're pasting it. For example, it’ll intelligently turn those awkward AI headings into bold text for an email, but keep them as proper headers if you're pasting into Slack or Teams.
Native Mac App: Only 11MB (no Electron bloat 🎉).
Privacy First: Works 100% offline with no tracking.
Simple Pricing: One-time $9.99, no subscriptions or accounts.
This is my first ever Mac app launch, and I built it mostly to save my own sanity. I’m charging a flat one-time fee because I want to stay independent and keep building focused, clean Mac apps in the future.

Been doing the Notes dance to strip junk. This looks like a sane fix. Keep lists, kill the weird fonts — pretty much what I want for Gmail/Slack. 11MB and offline is nice. Curious how it behaves in Notion comments.

@alexcloudstar Thank you, glad you like it!
Congrats on the launch — Purifai nails a real pain point for AI-heavy workflows by keeping structure while stripping messy formatting, which feels like a must-have utility for modern Mac productivity.

@zeiki_yu Thank you for the kind words, glad you like it! :)
Like magic! Super simple and useful at the same time. Quick win! Wish you all the best here!!

@german_merlo1 Thank you so much!!! Happy you like it :)
Congrats on the launch! This is a simple but massive time-saver. Dealing with weird formatting after pasting from the web is such a daily frustration for anyone who writes emails or docs
Does Purifai also handle stripping out hidden links, or is it focused purely on visual formatting like fonts and headings?

@manikse Thank you so much, glad you like it! :) It only keeps format that is working for the destination app, for example if you want to paste a full blown text into an email, it will convert that text into a more simple format, then clean it up further (if you selected email). If you have hidden links, they will either be totally gone, or visible in the text. There is no CSS or hidden elements remaining!
usually I am doing that through Google Translate. You pate text there and copy back.

@diana_oganesian It works for fully removing formatting, but it doesn't keep some basic formatting like lists etc. Purifai removes only what is needed!
