Act on selected text without leaving the current app
The real floating bar stays on top of a fictional Northstar dashboard and offers fast case changes alongside contextual URL actions, so transforming or routing a selection takes one click.

Act on selected text with a floating Foldout bar.
Quick Actions appears beside text selected in another app and keeps common transforms and contextual routes within reach. Change case, trim, encode, decode, hash, open a URL, make a QR code, or send the selection into the right Foldout tool without a copy-switch-paste round trip.
Start the 14-day trial in the app. No payment method is required to try Foldout.

Why it belongs
Why Quick Actions earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
The action stays near the selection
A floating bar removes the copy, app switch, paste, transform, and copy-back loop for small text jobs.
Suggestions follow the content
A URL can expose URL and QR actions while ordinary text keeps the transforms that make sense for it.
The menu is configurable
Smart routing and every quick transform can be enabled independently before the system-wide feature is turned on.
