What Users Are Saying
"I have a job where I get spreadsheets with missing gaps in between cell columns and need to also convert these to a search string for a online search engine. This handy app let me create my own work-flow to remove the missing lines, add a pre-fix character, add a suffix phrase after it, remove the line breaks, and then delete a specific amount of characters at the end. It works amazingly well. What an incredible tool and great value."
"I needed a way to remove line-breaks from copied text. I saw this app had a remove line breaks function, but I still wasn't quite sure how to automate my process (copy, run app, paste result). Anyway, I contacted the Dev and he walked me through the setup using Mac Services, and now I have exactly what I wanted. I started messing around with some of the other functions as well and discovered how to solve some other annoying repetitive tasks (such as adding up grades). Highly recommended, not just for the app but also the Dev!"
"Do yourself a favor and get the pack of apps from the dev. They're all great, but I especially love text workflow. I'm an editor and I use t.w. to quickly standardize various elements in very long texts. You can do this with single actions, or you can string multiple actions together into 'workflows.' I've saved gobs of time and effort using this tool."
"Have you ever asked yourself … there must be a way to easily handcraft text, so you can get correct, repeatable output from your shortcut. This app will get you there 95% of the time. The author is very responsive and helpful. If only he were on the Shortcuts team - sigh."
"The paid version of this app is definitely worth it. If you manipulate text with the shortcuts app using ChatGPT or for Anki card url encoding it makes things way easier."
"Text Workflow ist für mich als jemanden, der täglich viele Texte auf dem Mac und iPhone erstellt das nahezu perfekte Tool, um diese Texte zu bereinigen. Mein Pro-Workflow: Ich erstelle die Roh-Texte in der Drafts-App und übergebe diese dann schnell und bequem an Text Workflow – und bekomme via Shortcuts App das perfekte Ergebnis zurück direkt in Drafts zur Weiterverwendung. Für mich ist Text Workflow in der Pro-Version jeden Cent wert. Absolute Empfehlung!"
