A lightweight clipboard manager that lives in your menu bar.
Every text you copy is saved, searchable, and ready to paste.
ClipContext silently captures everything you copy and stores it in a clean, searchable list. Each entry shows the source app, timestamp, and word and character count, so nothing is ever lost and everything is easy to find.
Transform any clipboard item instantly with one tap:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Trim whitespace | Clean up leading and trailing spaces |
| Lowercase / Capitalize | Change text case in one tap |
| Remove extra spaces | Collapse multiple spaces into one |
| Remove empty lines | Strip blank lines from multi-line text |
| Join lines | Merge all lines into a single line |
| Convert to CSV | Turn a list of lines into comma-separated values |
| Extract URL | Pull a link out of surrounding text |
| Strip tracking parameters | Remove UTM and other tracking tags from URLs |
| Translate | Translate text via Apple's built-in Translate |
Set any action to run automatically every time you copy. Trim whitespace, strip tracking parameters, or normalize formatting without thinking about it.
Assign system-wide shortcuts to open ClipContext or trigger any action on your most recent clipboard item. No need to switch windows or touch your mouse.
Everything stays on your Mac. ClipContext never connects to the internet and never shares your clipboard data with anyone. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no exceptions.
A native SwiftUI app built specifically for macOS 26. Minimal design, fast performance, and a tiny memory footprint.
