One-time purchaseNo subscriptionmacOS 14+

The real cliiip Mac app with clipboard history containing a Safari link, image, grouped files, a Terminal command and Notes clips — A clip enters history, search narrows the results, and three clips are copied as a numbered list.

How it works

Find and reuse the clips you need

Find the clip you’re looking for

Search by content, content type or source app. Copy times help you recognise the right result.

The app also gives you menu-bar access, a picker beside your pointer, and Dedicated Capture for the things you choose to save. Read about all the features.

Previews

Preview a clip before you reuse it

Image clips include a preview. File clips refer to the originals, which must remain available.

More ways to reuse your clips

Pin the clips you use most

Reorder pinned clips to keep the ones you need at the top.

Turn several clips into a numbered list

Select two or more text clips and copy them as one numbered list.

Copy and paste with fewer steps

Optional One-Action Paste sends ⌘V after you choose a clip. It’s off by default and requires permission in macOS Accessibility settings.

Privacy

Review flagged clips before keeping them

Recognised sensitive content is held separately for review. Detection can miss items, so exclude apps you never want recorded.

The real cliiip protected review, with a deliberately fake demo token held apart from everyday history — A recognised demo token is held outside ordinary history for review.

Record only after enabling history

History starts with your next copy, without importing what was already on your clipboard.

Keep your history on your Mac

cliiip works without an account or cloud clipboard sync, and the app has no analytics or telemetry.

Choose how long to keep clips

Use memory-only history, or encrypted local storage with limits on age and item count.

Questions about cliiip

The complete FAQ

Does my clipboard history leave my Mac?

No. cliiip processes clipboard history locally and does not provide cloud clipboard sync.

Can I save only selected items?

Yes. Choose Dedicated Capture and use your configured shortcut only for the selections you want cliiip to remember.

Does cliiip require Accessibility or Input Monitoring?

No—not for ordinary history, search or Copy. Dedicated Capture and optional One-Action Paste can ask for macOS Post Events permission after you trigger them; macOS displays this under Accessibility settings. cliiip does not use Input Monitoring for these features.

What happens when I copy images or files?

cliiip can keep image previews and references to copied files. It does not duplicate or back up the originals, so they must remain available.

How much does cliiip cost?

cliiip is a one-time purchase. The Mac App Store shows the price and currency for your storefront.
