Privacy-first native clipboard manager for Mac with clipboard history, snippets, sequential paste, text transformations, OCR, translation, and notes.
Description:
Klipto is a clipboard manager for macOS. It records what you copy, keeps the history searchable, and pastes items back into the app you are working in. The popup opens over the frontmost window with a double-tap of the Command key or a keyboard shortcut: type to search, arrow to an item, release to paste. Beyond plain history, Klipto can paste several copied items one after another into a form, recognize text inside images and screenshots, translate text, store editable notes, and apply transformations to text on the way out of the clipboard — case changes, cleanup, format conversions, regular expression replacements and prompts to Apple's on-device language model. History, snippets and images are stored locally in the application's sandbox container; the app works without an account, without cloud sync and without third-party services, and text capture, translation and AI transformations run through Apple's Vision, Translation and Foundation Models frameworks on the device.
