TextScrub

Your all-in-one text processing toolkit. Regex, JSON, CSV, and more.

A batch workbench for people who clean exports, rewrite with regex, and tidy JSON or CSV. It is not a one-click paste stripper — that is a different app.

    Developers

    Run a regex with a live preview instead of hopping through a throwaway editor.

    Format JSON, check it, and convert encodings without sending the file somewhere else.

    People who live in export files

    Parse CSV or TSV, drop duplicates, sort, and trim the mess the spreadsheet left behind.
