Klipboard
Everything you copied, one keystroke away.
Press V to see what you copied today, images included. Type to search, even for words inside a screenshot, and press Return to paste it.
Built for images, not just text.
Images are first-class
Screenshots and copied images keep full quality, with sharp thumbnails and a grid view (G).
Search inside screenshots
Text in images is recognised on your Mac, so typing “invoice” finds the screenshot of one.
Pastes for you
Return pastes into the app you were in, as plain text. Return keeps the formatting.
Skips your passwords
Anything copied from a password manager, or marked private by the app it came from, is never saved.
Barely there
Checks the clipboard in microseconds and slows down when you're idle. Lives in the menu bar.
No settings window
The few options live in the menu bar: shortcut, launch at login, history size from 100 to 2,000 items.
Never touch the mouse
Open the panel, type a few letters, press Return. That's the whole workflow.
