Clipboard Manager for Mac with Instant Clipboard History Access

Clipen is a clipboard manager for Mac that lets you instantly access your clipboard history by holding Command and repeatedly pressing V. Unlike traditional clipboard managers, Clipen keeps you inside your current workflow while giving you access to previously copied text, images, files, PDFs, and other clipboard content.

Why Use a Clipboard Manager?

The default macOS clipboard only remembers the most recently copied item. A clipboard manager for Mac like Clipen stores your full clipboard history so you can paste anything you copied earlier without re-copying it.

Browse Clipboard History Without Leaving Your Workflow

Hold Command and press V repeatedly to scroll through your clipboard history inline. Release to paste. No separate window, no context switch — a true keyboard-first clipboard manager experience on macOS.

Keyboard-First Clipboard Management

Clipen is built for power users who live on the keyboard. Every clipboard history action — browse, search, pin, paste — is reachable with a shortcut.

Secure Encrypted Clipboard Storage

Clipboard items are encrypted locally on your Mac using AES-GCM encryption. Your clipboard history never leaves your device.

Search and Find Anything You've Copied

Fuzzy search across your full clipboard history to find any text, link, snippet, image, or file you've ever copied.

OCR, PDF and File Tools

Clipen supports text, images, PDFs, files, and SVG graphics. Extract text from images with OCR and act on copied files directly from your clipboard history.
