How it works
A local-first clipboard and screenshot manager for Mac that keeps a searchable visual history of everything copied, tagged by source app and time, accessible from a menu-bar dropdown. Colors show as live swatches, screenshots are searchable by the text inside them, and sensitive items like passwords are detected and skipped.
What's different
Fully offline with nothing synced to a server, versus clipboard tools that rely on cloud sync.
Pricing
One-time purchase with lifetime updates, no subscription.
Best for
Mac users who want quick access to clipboard and screenshot history without cloud storage.
