Download for iPhone & iPad on the App StoreA clipboard manager that respects your privacy and stays out of your way.
Lock your clipboard history with Touch ID or your Mac password.
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.
Automatically detects credit cards, SSNs, security tokens, passwords, and private keys. Auto-purges them on a schedule you control.
Capture text from windows and screenshots, then keep the recognized text attached as a searchable sidecar in your clipboard history.
Stores everything you copy — text and images. Search instantly by content, OCR sidecars, source app, and pinned status.
On-device by default. Clipboard contents never go to SaneApps servers. Optional iCloud sync uses your own account, and encrypted sync payloads stay unreadable to SaneApps when History Encryption is enabled. 100% Transparent Code.
Automatically ignores copies from 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, Bitwarden, and other password managers. Your secrets never enter the history.
Every clip shows which app it came from — and every app gets its own color, not just Apple apps. Scan your history visually — no reading required.
Auto-strip tracking params from URLs (utm_*, fbclid). Auto-trim whitespace, normalize line endings, clean duplicate spaces. Copies arrive clean.
Detach your history from the menu bar into a floating window. Resize it from compact strip to command center — it remembers its size and position between sessions.
Drag any clip straight out of your history into Mail, Notes, Pages — any app. Text lands as text, images as images. No copy-switch-paste dance.
Quick Actions for Shortcuts. URL schemes and App Intents open history, search clips, copy text, and run confirmed clipboard actions from your workflows.
Old items auto-delete after 1h, 24h, or 7d. Sensitive data purges faster. Pinned items never expire. Exclude apps entirely.
⌘⇧⌃Y opens history at your menu bar icon or mouse cursor (your choice). ⌘⌃1-9 pastes instantly. Inside the window: arrows, Home/End, PageUp/Down, P to pin, Return to paste. Vim-style navigation. No mouse needed. All shortcuts customizable.
Pin frequently-used text. Create reusable snippets with placeholders like {{date}} and {{time}} that auto-expand.
Queue multiple items, paste in order with ⌘⌃V. FIFO or LIFO. Perfect for filling forms or batch operations.
Paste as UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, trimmed, reversed, or formatted text. Strip HTML or Markdown. Smart paste auto-detects content type.
Export your clipboard history to JSON. Import from backups with merge or replace. Your data, portable and yours.
