Boop is a scriptable scratchpad application for macOS that lets developers run quick text transformations like encoding, decoding, formatting, and checksums on selected text. It is extensible with custom JavaScript scripts and available via GitHub releases, the Mac App Store, and Homebrew.

Use cases

• decode base64 strings quickly
• encode/decode URLs and HTML entities
• format and clean up XML or JSON snippets
• compute MD5 checksums of text
• run custom JavaScript text transformations
• use a scratchpad for quick developer utilities without opening a terminal

When to choose

• you frequently do small text transformations on macOS
• you want an extensible, scriptable utility tray instead of ad-hoc scripts
• you prefer a native Mac app over web-based converters

When to avoid

• you need a cross-platform tool (Boop is macOS only)
• you need heavy-duty text editing or full IDE features
• you want a CLI-first workflow
