A one-time-purchase alternative to subscription clipboard managers — auto-saved history, Paste Stack multi-paste, and Smart Lists.
All apps
Paste-style clipboard manager with pins, search operators, paste stack and rich previews.
Whisk is an open-source clipboard manager for macOS. It lives in the menu bar, remembers everything you copy (text, links, images, files, colors) and brings it back through a Liquid Glass panel at the bottom of the screen with ⇧⌘V.
Highlights
- Search with operators: type to filter by content or source app;
app:safari,type:linkandpinnedcombine with free text. - Paste stack: queue several cards with
⇧⏎, then paste them one by one anywhere with⌥⌘V. - Paste as…: upper or lower case, trimmed, one line, without accents, URL or base64 encoded or decoded, formatted JSON.
- Rich previews: link titles and favicons, QuickLook thumbnails for files, inline images, color swatches, syntax highlighting for code.
- Pins, undo and drag & drop: pinned items survive clearing and retention;
⌘Zrestores deletions; drag any card into another app. - Private by default: history stays in a local SQLite database, concealed password-manager content is never recorded, and any app can be excluded.
Native Swift/SwiftUI with no web view. Requires macOS 14 or later. Ships as a notarized DMG and a Homebrew cask:
brew install --cask nathan-poncet/tap/whisk
