Clipboard history, done right

Copy Paste History 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, capturing clipboard changes in the background while respecting app exclusions for sensitive software. Open history with a global hotkey, search and filter instantly, organize 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 History keeps everything local — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry of your 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.
