A clipboard that understands what you copied
Transform copies, send them to AI, and fill multi-field forms in one flow.
CopyClip is not a clipboard database—it is a transformation layer between copy and paste. Session Copy captures several snippets and pastes them in order. Open any clip in ChatGPT or Claude, plus custom tabs, JSON, URLs, templates, and OCR the moment content lands.
Free for now — every feature included
Multi-paste workflow
Session Copy
Collect several copies in sequence, then paste them one at a time into form fields—without reopening ⌘⇧V between each value. Built for onboarding flows, CRM paste, and any job where one clipboard item is not enough.
- Highlighted text can become your first captured item
- Floating HUD shows count and what you are about to paste
- Click a field or use ⌃⌘V in browsers and native apps
- Settings: mirror session copies to history; toggle click-to-paste

Capture → Understand → Transform → Reuse
Most clipboard tools help you remember what you copied. CopyClip focuses on what happens immediately after—reducing friction between information and action.
- 1
Capture
Everything you copy lands in one place—quietly, in the background.
- 2
Understand
CopyClip detects JSON, URLs, images, templates, and more.
- 3
Transform
Relevant actions appear instantly—format, OCR, clean, convert.
- 4
Reuse
Paste the result back into your app without breaking flow.
Clipboard history, search, and privacy are expected—we compete on helping you finish tasks faster at the moment content is copied.
From copy to done
Real tasks where understanding the clip beats scrolling through history—the interactive preview above shows the same flow.
Screenshot → searchable text
Copy an image from Slack or Preview—extract text with OCR and paste it into Notes or email.
Messy JSON → readable payload
One-line API responses become formatted, validated JSON before you drop them into Xcode.
Tracking URL → clean markdown link
Strip UTM noise and turn a long URL into a markdown link ready for docs or PRs.
Any clip → ChatGPT or Claude
Open a clip in a new AI chat in one click—text rides along prefilled; a screenshot or file is copied over so you just press ⌘V to attach it.
One template → many sends
Keep {{name}} and {{company}} in a clip—fill fields and paste a personalized draft each time.
Terminal output → plain text
Copy command output and paste plain text into tickets without extra formatting surprises.
Still keyboard-fast
Open with ⌘⇧V, arrow through clips, paste with Return—history when you need it, transforms when you don't.
Less database, more doing
We are not competing on sync, themes, or cloud storage. CopyClip helps you transform, enrich, and reuse what you copy without leaving your flow.
Session Copy
Capture several snippets in one session, then paste them in order into Mail, Safari forms, or Cursor—HUD in the corner, optional click-to-paste.
Actions at copy time
The moment content lands in CopyClip, you see what it is and what you can do with it—not just a list of old copies.
Understands your clip
Links, images, JSON, SQL, templates, and files each get contextual transforms instead of one-size-fits-all paste.
Open in ChatGPT or Claude
Send any clip straight to a new AI chat. Text opens prefilled; files and images are copied across with a “press ⌘V” nudge—so a screenshot or doc is one step from your prompt.
Custom tabs
Group clips into your own color-coded collections—tag-style, so a clip can live in several. Type / in search to jump between tabs.
Recently Deleted
Deletes aren’t forever—removed clips wait in Recently Deleted for 7 days, so you can clear aggressively and restore anything you change your mind about.
Between copy and paste
CopyClip sits in the gap where friction lives: turn raw clipboard data into something ready for the task ahead.
Make the actions yours
Pro lets you choose which action chips appear on a selected clip and drag to reorder them—so a screenshot can offer just Paste and Extract text, nothing more.
Pick your panel
Open the clipboard as the full classic panel, a compact drawer, a docked sidebar, or a minimal strip—whatever fits how you work.
History when you need it
Search and recall past copies is the foundation—not the pitch. Recents, filters, and pins support the workflow.
Stays on your Mac
Your clips live on your computer, not our servers. Delete anything, anytime.
Native menu bar app
Built with Swift for macOS 14+. Quiet in the menu bar, ready the second you press ⌘⇧V.
Session Copy — multi-paste fill workflow
Understands content — JSON, URLs, images, templates
On-device — history stays on your Mac
⌘⇧V — open from anywhere
Transforms first, history underneath
A native SwiftUI menu bar app—transforms, history, and Session Copy included.
Session Copy
Fill forms in order—outside the panel
Press ⌃⌘S or double-tap ⌘, copy each value with ⌘C (highlighted text can be item 1), then ⌃⌘Return. Paste into each field with a click or ⌃⌘V—the HUD shows what is next. Works alongside {{templates}} for one-shot emails.
Smart transforms
Turn copies into something useful
Inline actions on clips: prettify JSON or YAML, convert cURL to fetch, SQL to ORM stubs, timestamps and URLs, OCR on images, HEIC or PDF conversions, open in ChatGPT or Claude, and more—right when you select a clip.
Text templates
One draft, many recipients
Use {{name}} and {{company}} in a saved clip, then Fill template—tab through fields and paste a personalized version into Mail or Slack.
Clipboard history
The foundation, not the product
CopyClip remembers what you copied so you can act on it again—text, links, images, and files, with full history and filters.
Find it fast
Search when you're hunting
Type to filter clips in real time—match content, custom names, or the app you copied from. Handy, but not why CopyClip exists.
Edit clips & rename
Tidy up before you paste
Edit text clips in place and rename any clip so the list stays organized.
Privacy
Ignore sensitive clipboard data
Optional setting skips concealed pasteboard types macOS marks as sensitive—so those copies are not saved to history.
Everything included
Session Copy, transforms, full history, and more — no credit card.

FAQ
CopyClip is a Mac menu bar app for transforming and reusing copied content—with local history when you need it.
- What is CopyClip?
- CopyClip is a native Mac menu bar app that understands what you copy and suggests relevant actions—format JSON, OCR images, clean URLs, fill templates, and more. It keeps local clipboard history, but the focus is transforming content between copy and paste.
- Is CopyClip just a clipboard manager?
- Clipboard history is the foundation, not the product. CopyClip competes on contextual transforms at the moment you copy, not on sync, themes, or cloud storage.
- Is CopyClip a native Mac app?
- Yes. CopyClip is built with Swift for macOS 14 and later. It is not an Electron app; it opens with ⌘⇧V and stores history on your Mac.
- Does CopyClip sync my clipboard to the cloud?
- No. Your copy history stays on your device. CopyClip does not upload clipboard contents to our servers.
- Can I send a clip to ChatGPT or Claude?

- Can I recover a clip I deleted?
- Yes. Deleting a clip moves it to the Recently Deleted tab, where it stays recoverable for 7 days before it's purged. You can restore clips or delete them permanently from there.
- What is Session Copy?
- Session Copy is a fill workflow: press ⌃⌘S (or double-tap ⌘), copy several pieces with ⌘C, then paste them one at a time into form fields with ⌃⌘V or by clicking each field. A small HUD shows what is next—built for onboarding forms, CRM paste, and multi-step fill without re-opening the panel.
- Is CopyClip free?
