Plain Clip is a tiny Mac OS X application which will remove formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It's designed as a faceless application (i.e.: no graphical user interface), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey / launcher application such as “Spark”, “iKey”, “LaunchBar”, “QuickSilver” or “Butler”. For users of such tools, Plain Clip offers a way to invoke it with a shell command, which makes it possible to emulate a “Cmd-V” / “Paste” keyboard shortcut after the clipboard’s content has been converted.

Moreover, since version 2.0 Plain Clip offers removal of trailing whitespace and control characters such as non-breaking spaces.
