Spell check
Corrects the spelling of the text shared as input or from your clipboard, then presents it a prompt to confirm before copying.
Remove list elements
Scrapes out any list elements like dashes, asterisks, or double brackets so you’re left with only new lines of text.
Change text case
Takes the input from the Share sheet or clipboard, lets you choose from UPPERCASE, lowercase, Capitalizing Every Word, swapping to Title Case, or swapping to Sentence case, and copies it to your clipboard.
Special characters
Contains a dictionary of names and symbols that, when passed into Choose From List, becomes selectable – for whichever option is chosen, the corresponding symbol will be passed out and copied to the clipboard.
