ClipBook

ClipBook is built for people who copy and paste all day, like developers, writers, designers, support agents, and researchers. It is keyboard-first, so you rarely need to touch the mouse.

Paste faster

• Paste any item into the active app with Return, or the first nine items with ⌘1–9
• Paste in sequence: press ⌃V repeatedly to paste items one after another without opening the history window
• Select several items and paste them all at once with a separator of your choice
• Copy & Merge (⌘CC) appends new text to the previous item
• Paste as plain text to strip unwanted formatting

Work with text

• Merge several items into one, or split a multi-line item into separate lines
• Apply 78 text transformations, such as Title Case
• Extract text from images and screenshots with built-in OCR
• Edit the content of any text item

Organize and find

• Favorites, tags, custom names, and pinning favorites to the top
• Instant search across text, text inside images, link titles and URLs, and item names
• Filter by type, tag, or source app
• Choose how long each content type is kept: a day, a week, a month, a year, or forever

Privacy by design

Your clipboard history stays on your Mac. There is no cloud, no account, no analytics, and no tracking. ClipBook is open source, so anyone can check this for themselves. It also:

• Detects passwords, API keys, tokens, and card numbers and masks them in the history
• Skips confidential content and apps you choose to exclude
• Stays hidden during screen sharing, recordings, and screenshots
• Can pause capture with a global shortcut, and can clear history when you quit or restart

Highly customizable

Every keyboard shortcut is customizable. You can also choose light, dark, or system theme, set where the window appears on each screen, pin the window on top, and turn on a sound on copy. ClipBook is available in English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Portuguese.

Fair pricing

ClipBook is a native macOS app with a free, fully featured trial that needs no sign-up or credit card. After that, a one-time purchase gives you lifetime updates and support, with no subscription. Every purchase has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
