Never lose what you copied again

Clips does not hoard every Command+C. It keeps texts of about 200 characters or more, and links: the things you come back for. Short scraps pass through without cluttering the list.

Each clip is filed under a project, a course or a topic, worked out from the window you copied from and from the text itself. Everything about one job sits together, even when you copied it over three days.

Reading the window title needs the macOS Accessibility permission. Without it, clips are grouped by the app they came from. With an AI key, each clip also gets a title and a one-line purpose. Without one, the first line is the title.

Type and the list narrows. Your words are highlighted in the list, and the preview opens at the first match, even when it is deep inside a long text. Accents are ignored.

• Clips stay for seven days, then go. Pin one with Command+P and it stays.
• Command+D deletes a clip. Option with the up or down arrow jumps between groups.
• Everything is stored on your Mac.

Copies from password managers are never stored: 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, Dashlane, KeePassXC, LastPass and Keychain Access. Apps that mark a copy as a secret are respected too.

In browsers, the window title is the page title, so it is never sent to an AI model.
