Switches focus and simulates ⌘+V instantly
Under 2MB install size with 0% idle CPU drain
MacClip replaces cluttered dock apps with a floating frosted acrylic window that appears right beside your cursor.
Press Option + V from any app or window. MacClip glides in directly beside your active mouse cursor. Double-tapping ⌘ + C also summons the panel seamlessly.
Click any item or press Return / Enter. MacClip automatically switches focus back to your previous application and executes ⌘ + V into your active input field.
Capture screenshots with ⌘ + ⌃ + ⇧ + 4. MacClip generates instant high-res thumbnails with pixel dimensions and file sizes, ready to paste into Slack, Figma, or Mail.
Copied a JSON response, token, or terminal command an hour ago? Summon MacClip and start typing. Hundreds of clips filter in real-time with zero lag.
Keep boilerplate email templates, code snippets, and commands permanently pinned. Clicking "Clear all" wipes unpinned history while keeping pinned items protected.
No telemetry, no remote cloud database, no monthly subscriptions. All clips are encrypted on your local Mac storage and confidential password managers are automatically ignored.
Master your clipboard flow without ever having to lift your hands from the keyboard.
