HumanizerTrayApp is a small fan project built with Avalonia (.NET 8) for Windows and macOS.
It sits quietly in your system tray and — on click — processes your clipboard text, replacing all those smart quotes, fancy dashes, and typographic fluff introduced by ChatGPT, Word, Notion, and the like.
public static string ApplyAllRules(string input)
{
return input
.Replace("—", "-") // em dash
.Replace("–", "-") // en dash
.Replace("−", "-") // math minus
.Replace("«", """) // guillemet left
.Replace("»", """) // guillemet right
.Replace("“", """) // double curly quotes
.Replace("”", """)
.Replace("‘", "'") // single curly quotes
.Replace("’", "'");
}
ChatGPT and many text editors like to replace standard ASCII characters with typographically “correct” symbols — dashes, quotes, etc.
But in code, Markdown, YAML, CLI, and other structured formats — these break things or simply get annoying.
HumanizerTrayApp fixes that with one click:
copy → click → paste → done.
This is a personal side project.
