The clipboard manager for MacEverything you copy.
One keystroke away.
MacClip is the clipboard manager your Mac is missing. It remembers everything you copy — text, code, links, colours, images and files — and puts your clipboard history right at your cursor. Native, private and absurdly fast.
One-time purchase · No subscription · macOS 13 Ventura or later
Small app. Serious superpowers.
Everything you'd want from a Mac clipboard manager, and a few things you didn't know you needed. Every demo below is a live recreation of the real app.
Paste from history, right at your cursor.
Press ⌃⌘V while typing anywhere. Your recent clips appear exactly where the text cursor is — click one and it lands in that field instantly. Just like ⊞V on Windows, only prettier.
- Opens at the text cursor, the mouse pointer or screen centre — your choice
- Click, ⏎ or ⌘1–9 to paste; ⇧⏎ pastes as plain text
- Recent and Pinned tabs, type-to-filter, pin or delete on hover
- Your app never loses focus, so the paste is instant
Hi team,
Here's the guide we discussed:
Find anything you ever copied. In milliseconds.
Start typing and your whole history narrows as you go. Fuzzy matching forgives typos; filters take you straight to code, links, colours or images.
- Fuzzy search — “inv” finds “Invoice #2041”
- Power filters: app:figma, type:code, is:pinned
- Tab cycles filters, arrows navigate, ⏎ pastes
Three layouts. Pick the one that fits your flow.
A Spotlight-style split view with live previews, a slim list that stays out of the way, or a visual shelf of cards along the bottom of your screen.
- Split View, Compact List or Shelf — switch any time
- Compact, regular or large sizes
- Open at centre, top, mouse or right under the menu bar icon
Previews that understand what you copied.
MacClip recognises what's on your clipboard and shows it the way it deserves — highlighted code, colour swatches with contrast grades, links with their trackers exposed.
- Syntax highlighting for Swift, TypeScript, Python, SQL, JSON and more
- Colours in 8 formats — HEX, RGB, HSL, SwiftUI, NSColor, UIColor, CSS
- WCAG contrast grades, link cleaning, image & file details
Grab three things. Paste them as one.
⌘-click (or ⇧↓) to pick several clips and paste them together in one go — joined by new lines, commas, spaces or tabs.
- Multi-select with ⌘-click, ⇧↑↓ or ⌘A
- Choose the separator: new line, blank line, comma, space, tab
- Pin, copy or delete a whole selection at once
Transform text on its way to the paste.
22 one-click transforms turn a clip into exactly what you need — no more pasting into a scratch file to fix it up.
- UPPER, lower, Title and Sentence case
- camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case for developers
- Pretty/minify JSON, URL & Base64, sort & dedupe lines, Markdown links
Your clipboard is personal. We keep it that way.
MacClip keeps your clipboard history entirely on your Mac. No accounts, no analytics, no cloud.
Passwords and API keys never make it to disk.
Password managers are ignored automatically. On top of that, MacClip spots API keys, tokens, private keys and card numbers — and quietly refuses to store them.
- Detects OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, GitHub, Stripe, Slack & Google keys, JWTs and private keys
- Luhn-checked card numbers, custom regex ignore rules, ignored apps
- Pause capture for 5 minutes, an hour, or until you resume
A menu bar icon with a little personality.
MacClip lives quietly in your menu bar. It gives a tiny bounce whenever it captures something, shows a slash when paused, and opens a menu of recent clips with one click.
- Five icon styles, with an optional clip count or latest clip beside it
- Recent and pinned clips in the menu — click to paste, ⌥-click to copy
- Timed pause right from the menu
Tune every pixel to your taste.
Light, dark or system. Eleven accent colours or your own. Liquid Glass, frosted or solid materials, corner radius, text size, density — with a live preview while you tweak.
- Themes, accent colours, materials, tint and corner radius
- Text size, row density, timestamps, badges, date grouping
- Rebind every global shortcut; five of them available
Thoughtful down to the details.
Keep your go-to replies, addresses and code at the top — named the way you think.
Drag text, images or files straight out of MacClip into any app.
⌘1–9 quick paste, ⇥ filters, ⌘P pin, ⌘E edit — every action has a key.
Fonts and styles survive. Or paste as plain text with ⇧⏎.
Screenshots and Finder files, deduplicated and previewed.
Fuzzy matching plus app:, type: and is:pinned filters.
Auto-delete after an hour, a week, a month — pinned clips are safe.
Ready the moment you sign in. Pause capture any time.
Your history as plain JSON. Your data, your call.
Twelve subtle sounds, or none at all.
Native macOS materials, from Liquid Glass to solid.
Pure Swift. No Electron. ~0% CPU when idle.
Pay once. Keep it forever.

Questions, answered.
What do I get when I buy?
A license key by email and an instant download link. Install MacClip, paste the key into the activation window, and you're done. Every feature is included.
Does the license work on more than one Mac?
Each license activates one Mac at a time. Moving to a new Mac? Choose Settings › License › Deactivate This Mac on the old one, then activate on the new one. Lost the old Mac? Use “Find my license” to get a release link by email.
Is it really a one-time payment?
Yes. No subscription. The first 25 buyers pay $10; after that the price is $29. Both are lifetime licenses, and updates for MacClip 2.x are free.
Is my clipboard data private?
Completely. Your history never leaves your Mac — MacClip makes no network requests except to activate your license. Password-manager clips are ignored, and API keys, private keys, tokens and card numbers are detected and never stored.
How do I see my clipboard history on a Mac?
On its own, macOS keeps only the last thing you copied (Finder › Edit › Show Clipboard). macOS 26 Tahoe adds a basic list in Spotlight, but it keeps clips for only a few hours. MacClip gives you a permanent one: press ⇧⌘V to open your full, searchable history of text, code, links, colours, images and files, and press ⏎ to paste any of it.
Is there a Windows + V clipboard on Mac?
Yes — that's MacClip's Quick Paste. Press ⌃⌘V (or your own shortcut) while typing anywhere. A compact list of recent clips opens right at your text cursor — click one and it's pasted straight into that field, just like ⊞V on Windows.
Why does MacClip ask for Accessibility access?
Only so it can press ⌘V for you when you pick a clip. It never reads your screen or keystrokes. Without it, MacClip still copies the clip — you just paste it yourself.
macOS says “Apple could not verify MacClip” — is it safe?
Yes. MacClip is an independent app that isn't registered with Apple's paid developer program, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. The easiest fix is the one-line Terminal install on your purchase page and email — it installs MacClip without any warning. Used the .dmg? Click Done, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway next to MacClip.
How is MacClip different from other Mac clipboard managers?
MacClip is built natively for macOS and pastes right at your text cursor instead of in a separate window. It adds smart previews, merge-paste, 22 text transforms and automatic secret filtering — and it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later. Liquid Glass styling is used automatically on macOS 26 and later.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 14 days, no questions asked. Reply to your license email or contact support@macclip.app.
