Built for how you actually work
Every feature is designed to be fast, private, and completely out of your way.
Source Tracking
Every clip remembers where it came from — app name with icon, the webpage URL when copied from a browser, or the file path when copied from TextEdit, Notes, Xcode, and more.
500-Item History
Every copy you make is saved automatically. Text, URLs, code snippets — up to 500 items always at your fingertips.
Instant Search
Type to filter your entire history in real time — including text extracted from images via OCR.
Image Capture + OCR
Copies images from any app. Vision framework extracts text automatically. Tap the eye icon to preview the image or read extracted text inline — no need to paste first.
Pin Important Clips
Pin items to float them to the top forever. Pinned clips are never removed by auto-cleanup or Clear History.
Lock Any Item
Lock a clip to make it undeletable. Locked items survive Clear History, auto-cleanup, and manual deletes.
AES-256 Encryption
Your history is encrypted on disk using AES-GCM 256-bit. The key lives in your macOS Keychain — only you can read it.
100% Offline
No internet connection needed. No cloud sync, no analytics, no telemetry. Your data never leaves your Mac.
Menu Bar Native
Lives quietly in your menu bar. Click to open, click outside to close. Use ⌘⇧V as a global hotkey from any app.
Inline Previews
Tap the eye icon on any clip to expand the full content right in the list — complete text, images, or OCR results. Long clips show a size badge so you always know what you're about to paste.
Full Screen View
Click the expand icon to open your entire clipboard history in a dedicated window — with its own independent search and smart window focus. Minimise to drop back to the menu bar.
List & Grid Layout
Switch between a detailed list view and a visual card grid. Grid mode shows image thumbnails, source app icons, and timestamps at a glance — toggle anytime with one click.
Up and running in 3 seconds
No configuration needed. Install, launch, and your clipboard history is protected immediately.
Copy anything
Press ⌘C as usual in any app — Safari, Xcode, Figma, Terminal. Clipboard Mini Pro silently captures everything you copy in the background.
Click the menu bar icon
Click the clipboard icon in your Mac menu bar — or press ⌘⇧V from any app. Your full encrypted history appears instantly.
Click any item
Click any item from your history and it's instantly back on your clipboard — ready to paste anywhere. That's it.
macOS 13 Ventura or later · Direct download · No App Store required
Your clipboard is nobody's business
We built Clipboard Mini Pro because clipboard apps collect your passwords, API keys, and private notes. This one doesn't.
Keychain-backed encryption key
Your AES-256 key is generated once and stored in macOS Keychain. Even if someone steals your history file, they cannot read it.
Zero network access
Clipboard Mini Pro makes zero network requests. No analytics, no crash reporting, no telemetry of any kind.
Auto-cleanup on your terms
Set a maximum history size and auto-clear age in Settings. Your data is cleared exactly when you want — not when we decide.
No account, ever
There is no sign up, no email, no account. Open the DMG, drag to Applications, done. Your Mac is the only server.
