Clips

Everything you copied, one shortcut away.

TypeFire Clips is a clipboard manager for the Mac. macOS remembers one thing; Clips keeps the rest, with the words inside every screenshot read on your Mac so a picture can be found by what it says. One shortcut pastes any of it back into whatever you are in. Encrypted, passwords never recorded, free.

Everything you copy, kept

Text, rich text, HTML, images, screenshots, files, links and colors, in the format you copied them in.

Screenshots you can search

Every image is read on your Mac, so a picture comes back for a word that is only inside it.

Encrypted, passwords never recorded

An encrypted database on your Mac. Password manager copies never enter it.

Clipboard history

A clipboard history that keeps what you copied, and gives it back in one keystroke.

Every copy is kept, in the format it was copied in. Getting something back is one shortcut, one filter, or one search, from inside the app you are already using. Pin the four things you paste all day, and set how long the rest stays.

  • Back in one keystroke

    One shortcut opens your history on top of the app you are using. Pick the clip and it lands in the document behind it.

  • Filters that cut the pile

    By type, source app, tag, size, resolution, date or how often you copied it. Everything you pasted from Figma this week is one filter.

  • Pins that never scroll away

    A pinned clip stays at the top and is exempt from every retention rule, so the four things you paste all day are always there.

  • Retention you decide

    Keep the last 500, or 30 days, or 500 MB, or everything. Whichever rule you pick, pinned clips are outside it.

Next: the two open questions from the call.

Privacy

A clipboard manager you can tell what to ignore.

A clipboard manager sees everything you copy, so the first question is what it does with that. These are the mechanisms that decide what it keeps, where it keeps it, and what never enters the history at all. None of them is behind Pro.

  • Passwords are never recorded

    Copies that 1Password, Bitwarden and Keychain Access mark as concealed never enter the history. Card numbers and other high-entropy strings are detected and deleted after five minutes by default.

  • Per-app rules

    Any application can be set to allow everything, block images only, or block everything copied there. Image capture can be switched off entirely while text keeps being captured.

  • Sync over your own iCloud, if you want it

    Text clips sync between your Macs through your own iCloud Drive, behind a switch of their own. Images are a second opt-in. Anything detected as a secret never syncs on any tier.

  • Off until you turn it on

    Capture starts when you say so, and the history lives in an encrypted database on the Mac that copied it. There is no TypeFire server holding a copy.

Everything else

The rest of Clips.

The parts of a clipboard manager that turn a history into a tool.

Anything you copied can become a snippet

Give a clip an abbreviation and the thing you copied once becomes something you type three characters to get, forever. A clip can become a note the same way, because all three live in one app.

AI on any clip

Summarize, rewrite or translate before you paste, on the device with Apple Intelligence or a local model, or with your own key. Free on every tier.

Filter by the app it came from

Every clip remembers where it was copied. Only what came out of Slack, or only what came out of Xcode, in one click.

Tags

Copied error messages become one searchable set.

Saved screenshots, too

Shift Command 3 and 4 can come in as clips as well.

Kept as you copied it

Rich text stays rich, a color stays a color.

Links and files

A URL, a PDF, an image: all of it is a clip.

Questions about TypeFire Clips

What is captured, what is never recorded, and where it all lives.

Still not answered?

TypeFire Clips keeps everything you copy on your Mac: text, rich text, HTML, images, screenshots, files, links and colors.

Every image is read on the device as it is captured, so a screenshot can be found later by typing a word that appears inside it. Capture stays off until you turn it on.

Press Command Control 2 in any app. The Quick Paste overlay opens over whatever you are in, filters as you type, and Enter pastes the clip into the document behind it.

You can also filter by type, source app, tag, size, resolution, date or how often you copied it, and pin the ones you come back to.

Yes. The free tier keeps your 10 most recent clips with every feature on: search, screenshot text, Quick Paste, pinning, tags, source-app filters and AI actions.

Pro, 18 dollars once, keeps an unlimited history and syncs it between your Macs over your own iCloud Drive.

No. Copies that password managers mark as concealed, including 1Password, Bitwarden and Keychain Access, are never recorded at all.

Card numbers and other high-entropy strings are detected and deleted after five minutes by default, and anything detected as a secret never syncs on any tier.

On the Mac that copied it, in an encrypted database.

Sync, when you turn it on, runs over your own iCloud Drive and never through a TypeFire server. Images sync only if you opt in separately, and you can turn image capture off entirely while text keeps being captured.

Yes. Right-click any clip, choose Save as snippet, give it an abbreviation, and the thing you copied once becomes something you type three characters to get.

A clip can become a note the same way. Snippets and clips live in one app, which is what makes that promotion a single click.

Nothing you copy is ever lost again.

Download TypeFire, turn capture on, and every copy from then on is one shortcut away. Free, encrypted on your Mac, passwords never recorded.
