Undash

Purpose

Undash is designed to make AI-generated text read more like something a human wrote. It targets a common phenomenon: em-dashes (—) often appear in AI writing, and these symbols can easily reveal traces of "AI generation." Undash replaces em-dashes with spaces when you type, paste, or use the right-click menu, making the text look cleaner and more natural.

Main Capabilities

• Instant replacement: automatically replaces em-dashes when you enter or paste text.
• Right-click cleanup: you can select existing text and clean it in one action via the right-click menu.
• Quick toggle: click the extension icon to turn it on or off; a green badge means on, and red means paused.
• Visual feedback: understand the current status intuitively through the badge color.
• Lightweight operation: it is officially described as lightweight and fast, and it does not slow down the browser.
• Privacy by design: it is officially stated that there is no tracking, analytics, or login, and all processing is done within the browser, so data does not leave the browser.
• Broad applicability: it is officially stated that it can be used on LinkedIn, Gmail, Twitter, Notion, Docs, and "anywhere you write."

How to Use

1. Click the extension icon to turn Undash on or off.
2. Once enabled, it takes effect as you normally type, paste, or copy text.
3. To process existing text, first select it, then right-click and choose cleanup.
4. A green badge means it is working, and red means it is paused.
5. You can switch the toggle at any time according to different workflows. The official troubleshooting suggestions: if the extension does not work as expected, first turn it off and then on again; confirm the badge is green (active); refresh the browser tab; and if necessary, restart Chrome. In some cases, dashes may still appear after pasting; try clicking a space anywhere in the text area to see whether that triggers the extension to clear all dashes; if it still does not work, select the text and right-click to choose "Undash this text." If you need help, you can email hola@outdoinc.com, and the official guidance recommends attaching a screenshot or console log.

Use Cases

The officially listed audiences include: writers cleaning up AI drafts, students using AI for class notes, marketers fine-tuning content, founders preparing to post, and any user who wants text to "sound more human-written."
