The problem:
You paste text from somewhere, a doc, a chat, a website ansd it comes with curly quotes, tracking URLs, awkward bullet characters, double blank lines, and non-breaking spaces that make your terminal or editor look like garbage. You also frequently need to do quick JSON formatting, CSV Markdown conversion, and case changes, but you don’t want to open five different tools. And you always need a calculator sitting right there for quick unit math.
Clipbench solves all three of those annoyances in one file.
The 3 QoL improvements
Instant text cleanup Paste anything in. Curly quotes become straight quotes. Smart dashes, ellipses, and bullet characters get normalized. Whitespace collapses. URL tracking parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid, etc.) get stripped while keeping the actual URL intact. It runs live as you type, so the output is always ready.
Quick format converters –json toggles between pretty-print and minified JSON. –table converts CSV/TSV to Markdown tables and back. –case converts between Title Case, snake_case, camelCase, and kebab-case. All over the same input/output panes — no context switching.
Persistent scratch calculator Always-visible bar at the top for quick math (48*3.5), unit conversions (12in to cm, 5 miles to km), and timezone shifts (3pm PST to EST). Everything persists across page refreshes via localStorage.
