Claude rewrote my clipboard app for the Mac App Store

Jeff Kaufman's Clipboard Normalizer strips fonts, colors, and sizes from copied text, keeping only Markdown-compatible semantics. Now a free menu bar app on the Mac App Store, it can also convert rich text to Markdown and back. Claude handled the App Store rewrite: swapping Pandoc for SwiftSoup, writing Swift wrappers, merging two apps into one, adding tests, and walking him through review.

This time I just said I wanted it in the Mac App Store and Claude rewrote it to be compatible.

More from this day
