LoremBuilder

The fastest way to drop Lorem Ipsum into any layout.

Menu bar · macOS 13 Ventura or later · free

Lives in your menu bar

One click copies the exact amount of filler text you need. Pick from 1 to 5 sentences or 1 to 5 paragraphs. Press ⌥ to unlock up to 10 of each. No Dock clutter, no windows to manage.

Global hotkeys

Recall your last generated text from any app, any time, even after a reboot. Regenerate a fresh block without reopening the menu. Both shortcuts are customisable in Preferences. Optional Launch at Login using Apple's modern ServiceManagement API.

LoremBuilder Preferences window showing the recall and regenerate global shortcuts configured at the top of the options list.

Encrypted clipboard history

Opt-in clipboard history keeps your last copied snippets one click away. Everything is encrypted at rest with AES-GCM, with the key stored in the macOS Keychain, and auto-purges on a schedule you control. Can also track clipboard text from other apps: still encrypted, still local, still strictly opt-in.

LoremBuilder's Clipboard History shown simultaneously in the menu bar submenu and in the Preferences window, listing recent entries from both LoremBuilder and external apps.

HTML tags, your way

Wrap output in your own tags with custom classes and inline styles. Container, title, paragraph, and sentence tags each toggle independently; sensible defaults are pre-loaded for div, p, h1, and span. Add, edit, or delete your own.

Preferences window on the Tags Editor tab, showing a table of HTML tags with class and style columns.

Your own sentences

Ships with 54 classic Latin lorem-ipsum sentences. Not quite what your mockup needs? Add your own, edit any of them, or delete the whole lot; the generator just uses whatever is in the list.

Preferences window on the Custom Sentences tab, listing several Latin filler sentences.

Themed sentences from Wikipedia

Plain Latin feels wrong in some mockups. Search any Wikipedia article such as "Steve Jobs", "espresso", or "sourdough bread", and LoremBuilder pulls real sentences from it (8 to 40 words each) and uses them as filler instead of classical Lorem Ipsum.

Preferences window on the Thematic Sentences tab, showing sentences pulled from the Wikipedia page for Steve Jobs.

Privacy by default

LoremBuilder doesn't have servers. It doesn't send telemetry. It doesn't phone home. Everything lives on your Mac: your sentences, your tag presets, and (if you turn it on) your clipboard history, which is encrypted on disk with a key only your Keychain knows. The only network request the app ever makes is a direct call to Wikipedia, and only when you search for themed sentences.
