Copy now. Find it later.

Clippy sits in your menu bar and saves what you copy, so nothing gets lost when you copy something else.

One shortcut, from anywhere

Press ⌥⌘V in any app and Clippy comes to the front with your history. From the menu bar, ⌘1 to ⌘9 copy your latest clips straight back.

Tags and stars

Sort clips with coloured tags and star the ones you use every day. Search finds the rest in a moment.

Protected clips

Lock passwords and private notes. Their text is kept in your Mac's Keychain, encrypted, and hidden until you open it.

Clips that expire

Something only useful for a while? Let it delete itself after an hour, a day or a week.

QR codes and video previews

Turn any clip into a QR code to scan with your phone. YouTube links show the video's thumbnail.

Updates itself

New versions arrive on their own. Clippy asks before installing, and you can always check from the menu.

Mac + iPhone

Coming soon to the App Store

Copy on your Mac, paste on your iPhone.

Clippy is coming to iPhone too. Your clips will sync through your own iCloud Drive, so they’re on both devices without a new account.

Syncs through iCloud Drive, with no sign-up
Delete a clip on one device and it's gone on the other

Install

Ready in under a minute.

Download the DMG

Click Download, then open Clippy.dmg from your Downloads folder.

Drag to Applications

Drag the Clippy icon onto the Applications folder in the window that opens.

Right-click, then Open

The first time only, right-click Clippy in Applications and choose Open, then Open again.

Why right-click? Clippy is made by one person and isn't registered with Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first launch. After that it opens normally.

FAQ

Questions

Is Clippy free?

Yes. There are no ads, no subscription and no account.

Where are my clips stored?

On your Mac. If you turn on iPhone sync, they're also saved in your own iCloud Drive. They never go to my servers, because Clippy doesn't have any.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

Is there an iPhone app?

It's coming soon. The iPhone app is being finished now and will be on the App Store. Once it's out, your clips will sync between your Mac and iPhone through iCloud Drive.

How do I update?

Clippy checks for new versions about once a day and asks before installing. You can also choose Check for Updates… from the Clippy menu.

Can it start when I log in?

Yes. Turn on Launch at login in Clippy's settings so your history is always being kept.

How do I uninstall it?

Quit Clippy from the menu bar, then drag it from Applications to the Bin.

Never lose a copy again.

Free, private, and made with care.
