SmartClipboard

Everything you copy, one keystroke away.

SmartClipboard remembers your text, links, images, colors and files. Press Control+V, pick a card, and it lands right where your cursor is.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon and Intel

The SmartClipboard board

Always at hand

The board slides up from the bottom of any screen, even over full-screen apps, without stealing focus.

Paste in place

Choose a card with the arrow keys and press Return. SmartClipboard pastes into the app you were using.

Private by design

History stays on your Mac. Password managers and concealed content are never recorded.

Your history, at a glance

Every copy becomes a card you can recognise.

Each card shows what you copied and where it came from, tinted with the color of the source app. Links show their page title, images show a preview and colors show a swatch.

  • Text and rich text, with character counts
  • Links with titles and preview images
  • Images, colors and files
SmartClipboard cards

Keep what matters

Pin clips into tags.

Create tags for snippets, addresses or anything you reuse. Drag cards onto a tag, or press Control+V again to flip through them. Pinned clips are never cleaned up.

  • Unlimited tags, renamed in place
  • Drag one card or a whole selection
  • Unpinned history kept as long as you choose

Look closer

Preview, edit and paste the way you want.

Press Space for a large preview. Fix a typo, give a clip a title, paste without formatting, or queue several clips and paste them one after another.

  • Space to preview, ⌘S to save edits
  • Paste as plain text with ⇧↩
  • Paste Stack for filling forms

Questions

Why does SmartClipboard need Accessibility access?

To paste the clip you choose into the app you are using, SmartClipboard presses ⌘V for you. macOS only allows that with Accessibility access. Nothing else is read or sent anywhere.

Where is my clipboard history stored?

Only on your Mac, in your Library folder. Nothing is uploaded. You can pause recording at any time and exclude apps in Settings.

Does it record passwords?

No. Copies from password managers such as 1Password, Bitwarden and KeePassXC, and anything marked as concealed, are skipped.

How long is history kept?

Unpinned clips are kept for 30 days by default. Choose from one week to forever in Settings. Pinned clips are always kept.

What happens after the free trial?

After 7 days, choose a monthly, yearly or lifetime licence to keep pasting. Your history stays on your Mac either way.

Can I use one licence on several Macs?

Yes, on up to 3 of your own Macs. You can move it to another Mac at any time from Settings. Team licences are not available yet.

Can I change the shortcut?

Yes. Open Settings from the menu bar icon and record any shortcut you like.
