Ablebits Text Tools for Mac at EOL - Any Suggestions For a Replacement?
Hi everyone,
I have been using the Ablebits Text Toolkit for several years on my Mac. It has become an indispensable part of my daily workflow. It is a simple tool with just a few functions (Add Text Extract Text, Change Case, Trim Spaces, Split Text, Remove Text, Remove by Position, Merge Cells, etc). It has been in Beta all this time, and I understand the implications of this. There was always a "this is free for now, but we will probably charge in the future" disclaimer - and I have always been willing to pay for this tool. Much to my dismay, when I opened the tool today (February 23) I was greeted with a message that the tool will be deprecated May 28, just a few days away. Checking with support confirmed the tool will cease to work March 1. I'm in a bit of a panic as I can't find anything similar to this at all for the Mac. I am test driving Kutools, but find it quite complicated and does not seem (as far as I can tell so far) to easily perform the relatively basic functions Text Toolkit does. My guess is there isn't really anything else like this for the Mac, however if anyone does know of something, I would be ever so grateful to hear about it.
Ablebits support suggested a similar product of theirs for Google Sheets. If this is the only option, it won't be ideal. It will add many extra steps to the workflow, but if there is no other choice, I imagine I can find a way to make that work.
Thank you! :)
