What users say

The Mac's copy and paste features are quite basic. However, they are useful for everyday tasks and make multitasking easier. Most of the features are focused on making copy and paste workflows faster and more convenient.

Simple, useful, and private. I appreciate that my clipboard stays on my Mac, with keyboard shortcuts that keep everything within reach.

Paste Stack is my favorite feature. Queuing several items and pasting them in order makes repetitive form filling much easier.

Oliver Jr.Sep 26, 2026

Historr fits naturally into my Mac workflow. Searchable clipboard history makes it easy to find and reuse something I copied earlier.

Your clipboard, with a memory, and a shelf for everything you drag. Find, transform, paste and drop, all privately on your Mac.

The problem

Mac users copy and paste all day, but the clipboard only remembers one thing. People re-copy the same snippets, hunt through old windows for something they copied an hour ago, and juggle windows just to move files between apps. Many clipboard tools also sync everything to the cloud, which is a problem for passwords and codes.

What we built

We built a small, keyboard-first macOS app that keeps everything you copy on your Mac. ⌥H opens your history, ⌘1-9 pastes instantly, a Paste Stack queues items for filling forms, and a shake-to-open Drag Shelf collects files, images and text while you drag. Sensitive items expire automatically.

What it does

  • Paste Stack

    Queue several items and paste them in order, perfect for filling forms.

  • Drag Shelf

    Shake the pointer while dragging to park files, images and text, then drag them out together.

  • Paste transforms

    Paste as lowercase, UPPERCASE, a URL slug or formatted JSON.

  • Smart actions

    Links open, emails compose and colours show a swatch, right from your history.

  • Auto-expiring secrets

    Passwords and codes are detected and removed after a few minutes.

  • Keyboard-first

    Quick Look preview with Space, instant paste with ⌘1-9, full keyboard navigation.
