Clipboard helper for macOS

Everything you copy,
ready to use.

Copy as usual (⌘C) in any app, then open CopyCraft with ⌃⌥Space or the menu bar icon. Once you choose Watch clipboard on the welcome screen, what you copied is already there, recognized as JSON, YAML, CSV, a JWT or a Unix time, with the fitting actions such as Format, To JSON or Open Table. A menu bar app that works fully offline on your Mac.

Made for what you copy

One card at your cursor for text, code, data, images and files. Everything runs on your Mac.

Clipboard first

⌃⌥Space opens a card at your cursor, a click on the menu bar icon opens it under the icon. With Watch clipboard (opt-in, one click on the welcome screen), it shows your latest copy and keeps 20 copies and 20 pinned items in memory, searchable and with a diff of two copies. Not turned on, press ⌘V on the card. You can also drop an image, a PDF, a Word file or a zip on it, or open a CSV, TSV or JSON file with Choose File.

Recognizes and decodes

JSON, YAML, XML, HTML, Markdown, code (Rust, Java, Python), URLs and CSV/TSV are recognized and formatted. Decodes JWT, UUID, Unix time, ISO 8601, URL, Base64 and hashes, and converts YAML to JSON.

Text menu and snippets

Filter or reverse lines or take a column, clean up URLs, case style, Base64, URL and hex encoding, SHA-256, SHA-1 and MD5, and a QR code. Edit | Read on every text card: Read shows the text in pages with keys like less (Space, b, j/k, g/G) and / to search; ⌘E switches. Snippets with fields to fill in, and new UUIDs and timestamps.

Screenshots with text recognition

⌃⌥4 takes a screenshot of an area, a window or the whole screen, straight to the clipboard. The text in it is recognized on your Mac; drag the thumbnail to share it.

Images and documents

Read text and QR codes from images, resize, rotate, flip, grayscale and remove metadata; save as PNG, JPEG or HEIC. Text from PDF (scanned too) and Word, and view and extract a zip.

Table window

Open a CSV or TSV, or a JSON list of objects you chose yourself, as a table: search, sort, choose columns, remove duplicate and empty rows, with undo. Profile shows missing values, types and outliers; Copy Profile puts it on the clipboard. Copy as JSON or CSV, or save as CSV.

Chart, saved as PNG

Choose columns and see them as a Chart in the table window. Save as PNG, have the trend summarized in words with Summarize, or let Explain explain a column's outliers, on your Mac.

AI on your Mac

With Apple Intelligence: summarize, rewrite, fix spelling and translate (NL↔EN), explain code and explain the structure of JSON or YAML. All on the device; needs a Mac with Apple silicon.

Edit on the card

Type in the card's text to change it. ⌘S or ⌘↩ saves it as a new version (Save as Version); the first Esc cancels the edit, the second closes the card.

History strip

The small cards under the card are your recent copies. A click shows one on the card, a double click copies it again. The copy edited versions came from is marked · Original.

From your iPhone or iPad

Copy on your iPhone or iPad and, through Apple's Universal Clipboard, the copy is on the card, labeled From another device. Needs Watch clipboard, or press ⌘V on the card.

Fully offline

No network access, no account, no analytics, telemetry or crash reports. History is kept in memory only; only snippets you save yourself go to disk. Read the privacy policy.
