Pluks
Select to copy. Long press to paste. Saves recent 200 clip.
What this is
A clipboard manager for macOS and Windows that copies text the instant you select it, no Ctrl+C needed, plus a searchable history of your last 200 clips.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A clipboard manager for macOS and Windows (beta) that copies text the instant you select it — no Ctrl+C/Cmd+C needed — then long-press to paste, or press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to open a searchable history of your last 200 clips.
- What's different
- Brings the select-to-copy behavior Linux users know from PRIMARY selection to Mac and Windows; traditional clipboard managers only store history after you explicitly press copy.
- Pricing
- Free.
- Best for
- macOS and Windows users who want copy-paste without the extra keystroke.
- Watch out
- The Windows version is in beta.

Other. Launched 17d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #549. Today, it's been quiet for 14 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #549 on PeerPush with 38 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 3 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 15 olay var. 1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Pluks is a free clipboard manager for macOS and Windows (beta) that removes the copy step entirely. The moment you select text — in any app — it's already on your clipboard. No Ctrl+C, no Cmd+C, no right-click → copy. Long-press to paste it wherever you want, and open a searchable clipboard history of your 200 most recent clips anytime. How it works 1. Select — drag your cursor over text or double-click a word, anywhere 2. Copied — Pluks snags it before you even lift your finger 3. Paste — long-press where you want it, or press Cmd+Shift+V (Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows) to open your full clipboard history. Search, click, done. Why people switch • Auto-copy on select — copy on highlight, the select-to-copy behavior Linux users know from PRIMARY selection and middle-click paste, now on Mac and Windows. Traditional clipboard managers only store history after you press copy. Pluks deletes the copy step itself. • 200-clip clipboard history — every selection saved and instantly searchable. That link, OTP code, address, or code snippet from 20 minutes ago? Still there. • Featherweight — built in Rust with Tauri, not Electron. Under 10 MB, virtually no CPU or RAM. You'll forget it's running. • Local-first & private — works fully offline. Clips never leave your machine: no cloud sync, no account, no clipboard contents ever sent anywhere. • Password-safe — concealed and password fields are skipped automatically, so secrets never land in your history. • Native — universal Mac binary (Apple Silicon + Intel, macOS 11+) living in your menu bar; system tray on Windows 10/11 (beta). One 10-second permission setup, then you never think about it again. Built for • Developers moving code snippets between editor, terminal, and browser all day • Writers and researchers pulling quotes and references from a dozen tabs • Support, sales, and ops teams pasting the same responses on repeat • Ex-Linux users missing select-to-copy and middle-click paste on Mac or Windows • Students compiling notes, citations, and sources • Anyone tired of the select → Ctrl+C → switch app → Ctrl+V loop How Pluks compares • Paste ($9.99/yr, Mac): gorgeous history with iCloud sync — but you still press Cmd+C for every copy. Pluks is free and copies on select. • Maccy (free, Mac): excellent minimal clipboard history — still requires Cmd+C. Pluks adds auto-copy on select and long-press paste. • Raycast / Alfred (Mac): clipboard history lives inside a launcher; copying is still manual. • Ditto / CopyQ (Windows / cross-platform): powerful and scriptable, but no copy-on-select. The one thing none of them do: with Pluks, copying happens the instant you select. FAQ Q: Is Pluks really free? A: Yes. Free to download and use. Q: Does it work offline? A: Completely. All clipboard history is stored locally on your device — nothing touches a server. Q: Will it capture my passwords? A: No. Password and concealed input fields are automatically excluded from history. Q: Is this the Mac/Windows version of Linux middle-click paste? A: Same spirit, modernized: select to copy like X11 PRIMARY selection, long-press to paste instead of middle-click, plus a 200-item searchable history on top. Q: What doesn't it do (yet)? A: Text only for now — no images or files, no pinned favorites, no cross-device sync. It does one thing obsessively well. Zero keystrokes required. Download free → pluks.app

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
