Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A clipboard manager that respects your privacy and stays out of your way.

Touch ID Protection

Lock your clipboard history with biometric authentication. The only clipboard manager that does this.

Strong Encryption

Your clipboard history is encrypted at rest. Keys stored in your Mac's secure storage. Even if someone copies your files, they can't read your data.

Sensitive Data Detection

Automatically detects credit cards, SSNs, security tokens, passwords, and private keys. Auto-purges them on a schedule you control.

Password Manager Safe

Automatically ignores copies from 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, Bitwarden, and other password managers. Your secrets never enter the history.

Source App Tracking

Every clip shows which app it came from with unique color coding. Scan your history visually — no reading required.

Clipboard Rules

Auto-strip tracking params from URLs (utm_*, fbclid). Auto-trim whitespace, normalize line endings, clean duplicate spaces. Copies arrive clean.

Integrations

Quick Actions for Shortcuts. Web integrations with secure signatures fire on copy, paste, or delete. Build workflows around your clipboard.

Private by Design

100% on-device. iCloud sync between your devices only. No third-party servers. No analytics. No tracking. 100% transparent code.

Auto-Expire & Auto-Purge

Old items auto-delete after 1h, 24h, or 7d. Sensitive data purges faster. Pinned items never expire. Exclude apps entirely.

Search & Unlimited History

Stores everything you copy — text and images. Search instantly by content, edit items, and see word counts at a glance.

Lightning Shortcuts

⌘Shift+V opens history. ⌘1-9 pastes instantly. Vim-style navigation. No mouse needed.

Pins & Snippets

Pin frequently-used text. Create reusable snippets with placeholders like {{date}} and {{time}} that auto-expand.

Paste Stack

Queue multiple items, paste in order with ⌘⌃V. FIFO or LIFO. Perfect for filling forms or batch operations.

Text Transforms

Paste as UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, trimmed, reversed, or formatted text. Strip HTML or Markdown. Smart paste auto-detects content type.

Export & Import

Export your clipboard history to JSON. Import from backups with merge or replace. Your data, portable and yours.
