AnyIpsum For Mac

AnyIpsum offers you the possibility to quickly generate random sample text for your projects without too much trouble. The app provides support for the standard Lorem Ipsum style, but also comes with a couple of custom additions.

Upon launch, AnyIpsum places a small menulet in your status bar, where you can see the list of available options for generating random text: Lorem Ipsum, Bacon Ipsum, or Cupcake Ipsum. To make things even easier, each entry comes with a keyboard shortcut.

Usually, the filler text that is used as a placeholder is represented by randomly arranged Latin words: the original passage is extracted from the “De finibus bonorum et malorum” text written by Cicero. The output is commonly referred to as Lorem Ipsum and is used in most cases.

AnyIpsum tries to make things more interesting by allowing you to use random text that include terms related to other subjects. Worth mentioning is that AnyIpsum generates a new text string each time you use any of the options, so you can create as many different filler paragraphs as you like.

The sample Ipsum variations are included in the Ipsum.plist file, which is editable if you would like to experiment. Just make a new Ipsum entry, add the sample text, and save the file. The next time when you launch the app, you will be able to generate random text based on the custom sample.

However, keep in mind that this course of action is not recommended or in any way supported by the project’s developer.

To sum up, AnyIpsum is a small utility that can help you save a lot of time if you need access to filler text content for your projects.

The app can produce random text based on the classic Lorem Ipsum sample that uses Latin words, or you can use terms related to bacon or cupcakes.
