Remove list elements
Scrapes out any list elements like dashes, asterisks, or double brackets so you’re left with only new lines of text.
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.
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.
Add list elements
Takes text, splits it by new lines, and adds an asterisk and a space before each for pasting as a list in Markdown-compatible apps.
NATO Alphabet
Asks for text, then converts it to the NATO Alphabet to read out “Apple” like “Alfa Papa Papa Lima Echo.”
