Remove Comments from Code on Mac
Need to strip comments from copied code snippets? TextStow removes single-line, multi-line, and inline comments locally on your Mac — perfect for code sharing, minification, and clean documentation.
Comments Clutter Shared Code Snippets
When sharing code examples, creating documentation, or minifying scripts, comments add unnecessary noise. Inline comments, TODO markers, debugging notes, and legacy comment blocks make code harder to read in production contexts.
Strip Comments Instantly from Clipboard
Copy any code snippet and process it with TextStow comment remover from the menu bar. Single-line comments (//), multi-line block comments (/* */), and inline comments are removed — leaving clean, executable code ready to share or deploy.
Keep Proprietary Code Private
Code often contains internal logic, proprietary algorithms, and business-specific implementations. Web-based comment removers require you to paste code into their servers. TextStow processes everything locally — your code never leaves your Mac.
Supports Common Programming Languages
TextStow handles comment syntax for popular languages: JavaScript/TypeScript (// and /* */), Python (#), Java/C/C++ (// and /* */), HTML (<!-- -->), SQL (-- and /* */), and shell scripts (#). One tool works across your polyglot workflow.
Works with Other Developer Text Tools
Comment removal works alongside JSON formatting, Base64 encoding, and string escaping in TextStow. When preparing code for sharing or documentation, you often need multiple text operations — now they are in one place.
History Makes Cleaned Code Recoverable
Stripped comments from code earlier but lost it? TextStow clipboard history keeps both the original commented code and your cleaned version searchable. Find any processed code, even hours later.
