And around the pipelines: about 130 built-in actions for dates, JSON, Markdown, pictures and lists, and everything below.

Everything you copied, findable Free

Text, files and images, including the words inside your screenshots. Tag or add descriptions to anything to find it later.

Triggers: transformations that run when you copy

A tracked link arrives clean. JSON arrives pretty-printed. An API token is pasted once and never kept in your history. Triggers fire the moment you copy, with nothing to press.

Change text where it sits

Select text in any app and press a shortcut: it is proofread, translated or reshaped in place.

Type less

Type !sig anywhere and it becomes your signature. An abbreviation can run a command too, like today's date or a drafted reply to the email you just copied.

Paste ListsFree

Fill out that oft-repeated form in seconds by generating a list of items and paste it in rapidly.

Snippets and secrets

Text you reuse, can be saved under a variable with its own history. Secrets go in an encrypted vault that opens only with Touch ID or your login password.

AI-Native

A local API and an MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or your own scripts can find what you copied and put an answer back on your clipboard.

Private, yet on every Mac you use Free

No account, no telemetry. Sync is off until you switch it on, and then goes through your own iCloud, end-to-end encrypted. Apart from that, the only request the app makes is the update check. What's stored, exactly.


The demo · 35 seconds

Two copies, nothing typed in between

A tracked link copied out of a browser arrives in the next window already clean, because a trigger fired the moment it was copied. Then a timestamp a colleague sent in Eastern, converted to Pacific from the search bar — resolved above the bar while the command is still being typed. There is no sound; the captions carry it.

Pressing play loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com; until you do, nothing on this page is requested from Google. What that means.


Pricing

The clipboard manager is free. The automation is what you pay for.

Basic

Free
no time limit

Clipboard history, search — including the words inside your screenshots — and pasting from it, as plain text when you want it. No account, no countdown, and nothing that stops working. This part stays free for good.

Everything, while it's in beta

Free
until 1 January 2027

The whole app with nothing switched off. After 1 January 2027 you get 30 more days of everything, and then the free tier above — the clipboard manager keeps working either way.
