Clipboard history, done right

Copy Paste Manager is a macOS clipboard manager for people who copy constantly — links, code snippets, screenshots, file paths — and need to find them again in seconds.

What it does

The app runs quietly from your menu bar, saving clipboard history while respecting exclusions for sensitive software. Open history with a global hotkey, search and filter instantly, organize clips into collections, pin favorites, and paste with one keystroke.

When plain paste is not enough, Advanced Paste transforms content on the way out — change case, strip formatting, convert images, extract file paths, and more.

Privacy by design

Clipboard data is sensitive. Copy Paste Manager keeps history local on your Mac — no cloud account and no remote clipboard content.

Keyboard & mouse

Use it however you work — click, scroll, and drag, or stay on shortcuts. Every major action has a configurable hotkey with conflict detection.

macOS native

Menu bar integration, cursor-following popup, screen edge positioning, and system theme support — it feels like it belongs on your Mac.

Nothing to accept, nothing to collect

There is no account to create, no cookie banner to dismiss, and no tracking to opt out of — because nothing is being taken in the first place. Your clipboard history stays on your Mac and never leaves it.

The same holds for this website: it sets no cookies and loads no third-party trackers, which is why you never had to accept anything to read it. Privacy here is not a setting you configure or a policy you have to trust — it is the absence of everything that would need one.
