About MacClip

MacClip runs discreetly in your Mac’s menu bar, automatically remembering everything you copy: plain text snippets, complex URLs, JSON code blocks, formatted rich text, and image clippings.

Instead of losing your previous clipboard when you copy something new, MacClip lets you press your hotkey (⌘ + Shift + V) to instantly bring up a lightweight floating window with your entire clipboard history. Search in milliseconds and paste back into any active app.

Key Capabilities & Features

  • Instant Global Hotkey & Fuzzy Search: Access clipboard history from anywhere in macOS. Type two letters to instantly locate that snippet from earlier today or last week.
  • Pin Important Snippets: Keep frequently used code fragments, canned email responses, and commands permanently pinned at the top.
  • 100% Offline & Local Encryption: Zero tracking, zero telemetry, and zero network calls. All clips are encrypted using SQLite + AES on your local Mac storage.
  • Automatic Password Manager Exclusion: Automatically ignores clips copied from 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Keychain, and banking apps to protect confidential credentials.
  • Universal Apple Silicon & Intel Support: Compiled natively as a Universal 2 binary with near-zero CPU and RAM footprints.
