Your clipboard,
with a memory.
Clipz quietly remembers everything you copy — text, images, screenshots, files, and video — and makes it instantly searchable on your Mac. Even the text inside a video.

Features
Everything you copy, finally findable.
Clipz reads your clips so you can search by what's in them — not just remember where you put them.
On-device AI search
Apple Vision reads the text inside images, PDFs, and video frames and tags what it sees — so a screenshot is as searchable as a note. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Search inside video
Find a phrase from a screen recording and Clipz seeks the player straight to the frame.
⌘⇧V quick-paste
A Spotlight-style panel at your cursor. Type, arrow down, hit return — it pastes where you were.
Touch ID lock
Optionally require Touch ID before your clipboard is shown — window, menu bar, and ⌘⇧V.
Passwords, protected
Secrets from password managers are auto-detected, blurred, and gated behind Touch ID.
Private by design
No cloud, no accounts, no tracking, no telemetry. Everything lives in a sandboxed folder on your Mac — and encrypted backups are a click away.
How it works
Three steps. No new habits.
Copy as usual
Clipz captures text, images, screenshots, files, and video in the background — with the app each came from.
It understands
On-device Vision reads text in images, PDFs, and video frames, so every clip becomes searchable.
Paste anywhere
Press ⌘⇧V, find the clip, press return — it pastes right where your cursor is.
Free, forever —
and yours to inspect.
Clipz is free and open source under the GPLv3. No price, no trial, no accounts. Read every line, build it yourself, or contribute on GitHub.
