The clipboard manager your Mac deserves.
QuietClip remembers everything you copy — text, images, files — and keeps it all local on your Mac. No cloud sync. No account. Just a fast, keyboard-driven clipboard manager that stays out of your way.
Everything you copy, kept.
Text, rich text, images, files — QuietClip captures it all automatically and stores up to 1,000 items in your local history. No setup, no configuration. Just copy as you normally would.
Visual previews let you scan your history at a glance. Images show thumbnails. Files show their icons. Rich text preserves formatting. You always know exactly what you're about to paste.
Spotlight for your clipboard.
Press ⌘⇧V and a floating panel appears instantly — right over whatever app you're working in. No window switching, no dock icon, no interruption to your flow.
The panel feels native because it is. Built with SwiftUI and AppKit, it appears and responds like a part of macOS itself. Select a clip, press Enter, and it pastes into whatever field had focus. The panel disappears. You're back to work.
Your hands stay on the keyboard.
QuietClip is designed for people who think in keystrokes. Open the panel, type to search, arrow to the clip you want, press Enter. Your fingers never leave the keyboard, and the clip pastes directly into whatever app you were using.
Results update with every keystroke. No lag, no waiting. Search across your entire history — hundreds of clips — in milliseconds.
Pin what you use every day.
Email signatures, code snippets, your home address, that Zoom link you paste ten times a day — pin them and they stay at the top of your panel, always one shortcut away.
Pinned items never expire. They persist through history clears and limit changes. Think of them as your clipboard bookmarks.
Exclude sensitive apps.
Password managers, banking apps, private messaging — you decide which apps QuietClip ignores entirely. When you copy from an excluded app, nothing is recorded. Period.
Add or remove apps from the exclusion list anytime in preferences. QuietClip ships with sensible defaults for popular password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden.
Know where every clip came from.
QuietClip tags every clipboard entry with its source application. Copied a URL in Safari? A snippet in VS Code? A message in Slack? You'll see exactly which app it came from, right in the panel.
This means you can retrace your steps. When you're looking for "that link from earlier," you know it came from Safari. When you need "that code snippet," you know it came from your editor. Context makes your history useful instead of just long.
Set it once. Forget it.
QuietClip lives in your menu bar and launches at login — no dock icon, no window management. Configure your history limit (100, 500, or 1,000 items) and let it run quietly in the background.
Keep 100, 500, or 1,000 items. Older clips are removed automatically when you hit the limit. Pinned items are never removed.
100 / 500 / 1,000Toggle launch-at-login in preferences. QuietClip starts silently in the menu bar — no splash screen, no dock icon, no interruption.
Menu bar onlyZero external dependencies means a tiny binary. Pure Apple frameworks — SwiftUI, SwiftData, AppKit. Nothing bloated, nothing unnecessary.
< 5 MBPrivacy by architecture, not by promise.
Most clipboard apps say they care about privacy. QuietClip is built so that privacy violations are architecturally impossible. There is no code path that sends data off your Mac.
