Recover what you copied a moment ago
Keep a bounded, searchable queue of recent text, links, images, and local file references after the system clipboard changes.
Private clipboard manager for Mac
A clipboard that matches the app you are working in.
WhatTheClip keeps recent clipboard history, reusable app-specific favourites, and a keyboard-controlled paste overlay in one local workflow.
The complete clipboard workflow.
These are product capabilities that exist in the current app. Tier limits determine how much of the workflow Free and Full unlock.
Give each app its own favourites
Organise repeated replies, snippets, links, images, and files into numbered slots that belong to a specific App Profile.
Stay on the keyboard
Open the floating overlay, use arrows and number keys to choose an item, and return to the original app without hunting through windows.
Work with more than plain text
Full supports screenshots, image compression presets, copied local files, uploaded slot files, links, formatted text, and reusable snippets.
Pause, prune, and clear locally
Pause capture, remove individual items, clear favourite slots, delete profiles, or use the explicit Clear Local Data action.
Keep clipboard payloads on your Mac
Managed payload files are encrypted locally with a Keychain-backed key. Titles and previews remain visible metadata so saved items are usable.
Free is useful. Full removes the limits.
