Free with SaneClip for Mac.
A clipboard manager that respects your privacy and stays out of your way.
Lock your clipboard history with biometric authentication. The only clipboard manager that does this.
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.
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 with unique color coding. 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.
Quick Actions for Shortcuts. Web integrations with secure signatures fire on copy, paste, or delete. Build workflows around your clipboard.
100% on-device. iCloud sync between your devices only. No third-party servers. No analytics. No tracking. Open source.
Old items auto-delete after 1h, 24h, or 7d. Sensitive data purges faster. Pinned items never expire. Exclude apps entirely.
Stores everything you copy — text and images. Search instantly by content, edit items, and see word counts at a glance.
⌘Shift+V opens history. ⌘1-9 pastes instantly. Vim-style navigation. No mouse needed.
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.
