Everything you need, nothing you don't

A focused clipboard manager that does its job and gets out of the way.

Screenshot Ready

Global Hotkey

Private by Default

Your clipboard data stays on your Mac. History is stored locally — nothing is sent to the cloud, ever.

What people are saying

"I take dozens of screenshots a day for bug reports. Being able to drag them straight from Clipeasel into Jira is a game-changer."

Sarah Chen

QA Engineer

"Simple, fast, and private. I switched from a subscription clipboard manager and never looked back. The search alone saves me 20 minutes a day."

MR

Marcus Reid

Full Stack Developer

"The hotkey feels as natural as Cmd+V itself. It's one of those tools that makes you wonder how you worked without it."

FAQ

Common questions

Is my clipboard data sent to the cloud?
No. Clipeasel stores everything locally on your Mac in ~/Library/Application Support/Clipeasel/. Nothing is ever transmitted anywhere.
What types of content does it capture?
Text and images. Clipeasel monitors your system clipboard for plain text, rich text, and image data including screenshots. Images are saved as high-quality PNGs.
Can I drag images into other apps?
Yes — that's one of Clipeasel's best features. Image items in the carousel support native macOS drag-and-drop. Grab an image card and drop it into Figma, Slack, email, or any app that accepts image files.
Does it slow down my Mac?
No. Clipeasel is a native Swift app with minimal resource usage. It polls the clipboard every half second with negligible CPU impact and runs as a lightweight menu bar accessory.
How do I change the hotkey?
The default hotkey is Cmd+Opt+V. Custom hotkey configuration is on the roadmap for an upcoming release.
What macOS versions are supported?
Clipeasel requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. It uses modern AppKit APIs and the Carbon Events framework for global hotkey registration.
