Clipboard history that respects your workspace
Unlike generic clipboard logs that clutter memory with images and heavy binaries, CleanClip is built specifically for text utility. It records text clipboard logs locally so they are light, fast, and instantly searchable.
- ✓ Fast search-as-you-type querying (FTS5 indexed)
- ✓ Pin important text clips to top lists
- ✓ Automatically clean up records using retention controls
- ✓ Exclude private data through Luhn credit card and API key filters
Privacy is a core feature, not an afterthought.
CleanClip stores clipboard history locally on your Mac. It does not collect, transmit, sell, track, or share clipboard content.
Only text content is stored locally if Clipboard History is enabled. Images, files, and rich formatting are ignored completely to protect your privacy and optimize system resources.
* Note: Sensitive-text detection (credit cards and common API keys) is best-effort and may not catch everything. You can always pause clipboard history capture, clear all history, or delete individual items in settings.
