The Copy & Clean guide collection
Fifteen guides, one skill: getting exactly the table or text you want out of a website or a PDF — and into Excel, Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Obsidian, Word or your editor — with the structure intact.

How it works, in short
Install the free Clean Copy extension for Chrome or Firefox, point at what you want, and choose Copy Table or Copy Clean Text. What lands on your clipboard is real structure — an actual table, or plain text — so it pastes correctly wherever it goes next.
Questions
Is all of this free?
Yes. The guides use the free Clean Copy browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. The clipboard work runs locally in your browser, so the free version is a complete tool — not a trial.
Do my data leave my computer?
The table does not. The clipboard work happens in your own browser and nothing you copy is uploaded — it only exists on your clipboard until you paste it yourself. Two other things do leave your browser, and both only when you ask for them: an anonymous page-view count, and — if you activate a Clean Copy Pro key — that key and a device id, sent to our license API on mahope.tools so the license can be validated.
Which destinations are covered?
Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, Notion, Airtable, Obsidian and Word — plus plain-text and Markdown workflows.
