Scrub

Clean Messy Text and Convert JSON, CSV, and YAML Without Uploading Anything

Scrub is a text cleaner and data converter that runs entirely on your device. Fix whitespace, dedupe and sort lines, format JSON, convert data formats, and strip tracking junk from URLs. Nothing you paste ever touches a server.

What It Does

Private by Design

100% on-device. Every tool runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no servers. The only network request Scrub ever makes is verifying a Pro license key with Gumroad when you enter one. Your text, data, and images never leave your machine, and the app works fully offline after install.

How It Works

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. It also runs as an installable web app that works offline.
  2. Paste your text or data, or use the grab-selection button to pull highlighted text from the current page.
  3. Pick a tool from six categories (Text, JSON, CSV/YAML, URL, Encode, Image), adjust options if needed, and copy or download the result.
