Clipboard, but finally useful.

A visual clipboard shelf for macOS.

Collect, arrange, and reuse what you copy without losing your flow. Your clipboard becomes a workspace instead of a hidden pigeon hole.

Demo

The Problem

macOS only remembers the last thing you copied. Creative work does not.

  • 😵‍💫 Copying multiple snippets
  • 🔀 Switching between apps
  • 😖 Re-copying things you already had
  • 🤯 Losing context mid-task

The Solution: A Clipboard Shelf

Instead of a hidden list, you get a temporary workspace. A shelf that holds what you are using right now.

Copy multiple items
See them visually
Drag, reorder, reuse
Clear when the task is done

How It Works

It appears when you need it and disappears when you do not.

Zero re-copying
01

Copy normally

Use Cmd+C like you always do. Text, images, colors, files. It all appears on the shelf.

02

Open the shelf instantly

Trigger it via the tray icon or a global keyboard shortcut. It is there when you need it.

03

Pick and paste

Pick items from the shelf and paste into any app. No re-copying, no searching.
