Whether you write copy, ship code, edit content, or just clean up messy text from emails and documents, TextLab handles the boring parts so you do not have to.
Everything runs on your device. Your text never leaves your iPhone.
WHAT IT DOES
• Convert case in one tap. UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case, camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case. All the formats developers and writers actually use.
• Clean up text fast. Remove extra spaces, empty lines, line breaks, duplicate words, duplicate lines. Trim whitespace. Strip rich text formatting in one tap.
• Count what matters. Characters, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, reading time. Live as you type.
• Reverse, shuffle, sort. Reverse words, reverse letters, sort lines alphabetically or by length, shuffle randomly.
PREMIUM TOOLS
• Workflows. Chain any number of actions into a single reusable transformation. Save it, name it, give it an icon, run it on any text in one tap. Edit a workflow once, use it forever.
• JSON and data formatters. Beautify or minify JSON. Format XML, HTML, YAML. Convert CSV to JSON and back with custom delimiters. Strip HTML tags. Strip Markdown.
• Encoders and decoders. Base64, URL encoding, HTML entities, hex. Encode or decode in one tap.
• Find and replace with regex. Full NSRegularExpression support for advanced search and replace.
• Extract anything. Pull emails, links, phone numbers, dates from any block of text. Or write your own regex pattern to extract whatever you need.
• Line tools. Sort lines, number lines (decimal or Roman), add prefix or suffix to every line, delete lines containing or not containing text, break lines after every word, sentence, or position.
• Cleanup pro. Remove diacritics. Remove invisible Unicode characters that break text from web pages. Remove emojis. Filter words by pattern.
• Markdown tools. Convert Markdown to HTML. Strip Markdown syntax to plain text. Clean Markdown formatting.
• Apple Intelligence. On supported devices running iOS 26, run text through the on-device language model with your own prompt. Translate, rephrase, fix grammar, summarize. All on device.
• Shortcuts integration. Every TextLab action and every workflow you create works as a Shortcuts action. Build automations, run them with a tap, a Siri command, or a Home Screen widget.
• Share extension. Select text in any app, hit Share, run any TextLab action without leaving the app you are in.
• iCloud sync. Your workflows follow you across iPhone and iPad.

Made for iPhone Duo
• Unfold your iPhone Duo and TextLab becomes a two page workspace that splits exactly at the fold.
• Before and After puts your text on one page and the result of any action on the other, updated as you type. Flip through actions, then tap Apply.
• Compare opens across both halves, one version on each page.
• Scratchpad sits next to your text and shows what every action would do to it.
• Regex Tester keeps the pattern and matches on one page and the highlighted text on the other.
• The workflow builder shows your text after every step, so you know what a workflow does before you run it.
• Hold it like a laptop for your text on the top half and a full deck of actions on the bottom.
