PureText is described as 'tiny (13Kb) application for Windows that allows you to paste text to any application without formatting, using a hotkey (default Win + V)' and is an app in the office & productivity category. There are six alternatives to PureText for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Firefox, Linux and AutoHotkey. The best alternative is AceText.

PureText alternatives are mainly Note-taking Tools but may also be Clipboard Managers. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of PureText.

      When copying text from one application and pasting it into another one, you usually get to keep the formatting of the text as well. With formatting, I here refer to font size, text color, bold, hyperlinks, et cetera.
