A one-time-purchase alternative to subscription clipboard managers — auto-saved history, Paste Stack multi-paste, and Smart Lists.
All apps
Deck
A modern, native, privacy-first clipboard manager for macOS — with built-in AI to search, transform, and manage what you copy.
Deck keeps a searchable history of everything you copy — text, images, files, and code — organized into Text, Images, Files, and Important tabs you can jump between instantly. A built-in AI chat can search that history for you ("find the git rebase command I copied earlier") or transform clipboard text on the spot, without you ever leaving the popup.
Why it makes the list
Clipboard managers are a crowded category, but most stop at "list of recent copies." Deck adds a genuinely useful AI layer on top — asking it questions about your clipboard history instead of scrolling through it — while keeping everything native, fast, and stored on your Mac rather than someone's cloud.
Standout features
- Typed history — Text, Images, Files, and Important, filterable instantly
- AI chat over your clipboard, powered by your choice of model
- JavaScript script plugins for custom text transformations
- Pin and organize important clips so they don't scroll away
- Fully native Swift app, built for speed
- Privacy-first — your clipboard history stays on your Mac
