Every copy is saved automatically. Search through weeks of clipboard history instantly.
Auto-categorizes emails, JWTs, code snippets, URLs, env vars, file paths, and more.
Full-text search powered by SQLite FTS5. Find anything in under a millisecond, even with tens of thousands of items.
Global hotkey, full keyboard navigation, and quick-paste shortcuts. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
Images, syntax-highlighted code, decoded base64, and formatted JSON. See exactly what you copied.

Type ! to access 40+ commands. Clear history, toggle settings, switch themes, filter by type — all without touching your mouse.
Seamlessly sync your clipboard history between Mac and iOS via CloudKit. Fully optional — disabled by default.

Three strictness profiles, per-detector overrides, and advanced regex patterns. Build your own custom detectors too.
Press the global hotkey to summon a floating search panel from any app. Type to filter, use arrow keys to select, and press Enter to paste instantly.
