Native macOS clipboard manager · macOS 13 (Ventura) and later
ClipBuddy for Mac is a native macOS clipboard manager — a Mac app, not a browser extension. It keeps a searchable history of everything you copy, keeps your reusable snippets a keystroke away, and keeps 100% of your data on your Mac. Here is exactly what you get.
What ClipBuddy gives you
Searchable history of everything you copy — text, images, links, files, code and JSON.
Find a screenshot by its text — and copy that text back out (on-device macOS Vision).
Touch ID Vault for secrets & cards — passwords, keys and payment cards encrypted on your Mac, with automatic secret detection.
Smart Paste — optional destination-aware paste (shell-escape into terminals, straighten quotes in editors; ⌥ for raw).
Clipboard undo (⌘⌥Z) — rewind when you overwrite something.
Paste in a keystroke — ⌘⌥V anywhere, type to filter, Enter to paste — or type a clip in as keystrokes where ⌘V is blocked.
Emoji picker (⌘⌥E) — 2,300+ emoji, flags and skin tones, generated on your Mac. Free for everyone.
Start free, no account — ever. Upgrade to Pro on the App Store for your full searchable history.
100% private & local. No cloud, no tracking. Passwords and concealed copies are skipped.
Native & lightweight. Built in Swift/AppKit — no Electron.
Is ClipBuddy Pro worth ₹1299/year?
ClipBuddy Pro is ₹1299/year — about ₹108/month — and combines several capabilities in one native, 100% local app: a full clipboard manager with unlimited searchable history, a Touch ID vault for passwords/keys/cards, a keyword snippet library, on-device screenshot text search, Smart Paste, and developer transforms (base64, JSON, hashes, case, dedupe) plus quick actions.
There is a 7-day free trial, so you can decide before paying. Prefer not to subscribe? ClipBuddy offers a one-time Lifetime license for ₹4999 — pay once and own Pro forever.
Bottom line
If you want a native Mac clipboard manager that keeps everything searchable (including the text inside screenshots), protects secrets in a Touch ID vault, keeps reusable snippets a keystroke away, adapts each paste to the target app, and keeps 100% of your data on your Mac, ClipBuddy is built for exactly that.
