Clips - macOS Clipboard Manager
A downloadable utility for macOS
Clips — Native macOS Clipboard Manager
Clips is a clean, ultra-lightweight, and distraction-free clipboard manager built exclusively for macOS. No subscriptions, no Electron bloat—just pure speed and native integration.
⚡ Why Clips?
- 100% Native & Lightweight: Built with pure SwiftUI. Minimal RAM usage and 0% CPU in the background.
- Privacy First: Zero network requests. Your clipboard history stays completely offline and local to your Mac.
- Instant Access: Trigger the launcher with a simple shortcut without interrupting your workflow.
- Battery Friendly: Completely idle when you're not using it.
