MaCopy
The clipboard that remembers everything
A fast, native and private clipboard manager for macOS, with dictation and a voice assistant.
Free · DMG from GitHub, updates via Sparkle1
Keeps your focus. Keeps your data.
The panel floats over any window while the caret stays where you were typing. Enter pastes directly there. History is encrypted on your Mac, the key is in Keychain, and password-manager entries are excluded.
What you can do with MaCopy
Paste without losing focus
⌘` opens the panel without switching apps. Search and arrow keys navigate; Enter pastes, ⇧Enter copies, and ⌘1–⌘9 paste the first nine entries.
Search everything
Fuzzy search across text, notes, source app names and screenshots recognized locally with Apple Vision.
Tabs by type
Favorites, all, links, images, colors and code. URLs, hex and RGB values, and code are detected automatically.
Dictation
Press a hotkey and speak into the active field. Local models via transcribe.cpp work without the internet.
Voice assistant
A wake phrase starts dictation or commands such as “find out”, “say”, “press ⌘⇧C” or “Google”. Answers are spoken aloud.
Links and video
Link previews include a title and image; use Quick Look for images and download linked videos to a chosen folder.
