Count characters in text
Gets text from input or prompts you to enter it, then counts the length of the string.
Convert rich text to Markdown
Takes text shared as input or copied to the clipboard and converts it to Markdown formatting.
Shortcut Information
Use this to take any rich text and copy it as web-friendly plain text that retains links inline and instructions for formatting.
This works well on iOS because most apps don’t support rich text – for this reason, many Markdown-supported apps are available on the App Store.
