Clipboard AI is a clipboard manager for Mac that lives in your menu bar and remembers everything you copy. Press Command Shift V anywhere to search your whole clipboard history and paste, batch-paste entire lists for free, and pick up clips you copied on your iPhone through your own private iCloud.
macOS remembers exactly one thing you copied. Clipboard AI remembers all of them. Every copy - text, links, code, addresses, images - lands in your history the moment you copy it, deduplicated and sorted into categories on your Mac.
Press Command Shift V in any app and a floating panel opens at your cursor. Type a few letters, hit Return, and the clip pastes right where you were typing. No window switching, no losing your place.
Filling a form from a list? Moving ten answers into ten fields? Select the clips once and paste them all, in order, without touching the clipboard ten times. Free for everyone, only on Mac.
Pastes every selected clip one after another, top to bottom.
Each Command V inserts the next clip in the queue. A little HUD shows what is coming.
Merges the selection into a single clip you can paste as one block.
Turn on iCloud sync with Pro and your clipboard history follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, up to 10x faster than a plain iCloud clipboard. Everything travels through your own private iCloud, never our servers.
Search your whole clipboard history by content, name, type, or collection, with results in milliseconds even years back. Then clean text up on the way out: change case, trim whitespace, strip HTML, encode URLs.
Download Clipboard AI on your Mac. It lives in the menu bar and starts capturing what you copy right away.
Allow Clipboard AI under System Settings, Privacy & Security, Accessibility, so picking a clip pastes it for you. Here's exactly how.
The floating panel opens at your cursor. Type to search, Return to paste. Full Mac setup guide.
No. macOS keeps only the single most recent thing you copied, and Finder's Show Clipboard window only shows that one item. Universal Clipboard shares one item with your iPhone for a short window. A clipboard manager like Clipboard AI adds the missing part: a searchable history of everything you copy, one hotkey away.
With Clipboard AI installed, click the clipboard icon in the menu bar or press Command Shift V anywhere. Recent clips appear instantly, and the All Clips window holds your entire history with search, categories, and collections, no matter how long ago you copied something.
It depends on what you need. Minimal free tools like Maccy are great if you only want a plain history on one Mac. Clipboard AI is built for people who also live on an iPhone or iPad: it adds on-device AI organization, custom clip names, OCR for screenshots, free batch and sequential paste, and sync through your own private iCloud.
Yes. The free plan includes a 10-clip history, auto-capture, smart categories, custom names, and search, and batch and sequential paste are free for everyone on Mac. Pro unlocks unlimited history, collections, AI features, and iCloud sync for $19.99 per year or $34.99 once for Lifetime, covering iPhone, iPad, and Mac together.
Select several clips in Clipboard AI and use Paste All to paste them one after another in order, Paste One by One so each Command V inserts the next clip in the queue, or Copy as One to merge them into a single block. All three are free on Mac.
Yes. With Pro, your clips, collections, and custom names sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own private iCloud, up to 10x faster than a plain iCloud clipboard. Copy a link on your phone and it is usually waiting on your Mac before you sit down.
Almost always it is Accessibility access. Clipboard AI pastes by simulating Command V, which macOS only allows once you enable Clipboard AI under System Settings, Privacy and Security, Accessibility. Turn it on and paste works everywhere.
Free to start. Batch paste included. One purchase later covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
