GlassClip

简体中文 | English

A private, local-first clipboard history manager for macOS. Built with native Swift — Liquid Glass on macOS 26, standard vibrancy on macOS 14+.

All data stays on your machine. No cloud, no account, no telemetry.

• Full-type capture — text, rich text (RTF), HTML, images, file URLs, colors
• Liquid Glass panel — a single floating panel, summoned anywhere (macOS 26 Liquid Glass; standard vibrancy material on macOS 14/15)
• Instant search — just start typing, no need to click the search field
• Favorites — pin items to a dedicated section that survives limits and clears
• Smart dedup — re-copying the same content moves it back to the top; plain-text and rich variants of the same content merge into one item
• In-panel preview — press Space to split the panel and preview images, rendered HTML/RTF, colors, and file lists
• Keyboard first — everything reachable without the mouse
• Sensitive-app filter — clips copied inside 1Password, Bitwarden, KeePassXC, or Keychain Access are never recorded (list is editable)
• Fast storage — SQLite with large payloads on disk; thousands of items stay snappy
• 100% offline

• Run: macOS 14.0 or later — Apple Silicon or Intel Mac
• Build: Xcode 26 or newer (macOS 26 SDK, Swift 6.2 toolchain)

By default, selecting an item only writes it to the clipboard — you paste with ⌘V yourself.

To paste automatically on Enter, enable Settings → Paste → Auto Paste and grant the Accessibility permission when prompted. GlassClip then synthesizes ⌘V into the app you were using.
