Simple Clipboard Manager AI
Fast Mac clipboard history with Markdown, OCR, rich text, snippets, and private on-device AI.
Simple Clipboard Manager AI keeps clipboard history close in the menu bar, makes previous clips fast to reuse, and helps choose the format you need before content goes into a document, note, editor, browser, chat, or email.
The app is built for people who copy, clean up, reformat, and reuse text all day. It handles plain text, rich text, Markdown, images, files, PDFs, and original source formats, with special attention to Markdown-heavy developer, writing, research, student, and support workflows.
OCR support turns screenshots and image-based text into useful clipboard content with macOS Vision. On supported Macs, AI enhancements run locally with Apple's system language model, so summarizing, cleanup, rewriting, and Smart Markdown conversion can happen without API keys, cloud AI accounts, credits, or third-party AI services.

Simple Clipboard Manager AI is built specifically for macOS using AppKit, NSPasteboard, Vision, Accessibility APIs, RealmSwift, and Apple Foundation Models where available. Clipboard history is stored locally, and the core clipboard, snippets, formatting, OCR, and local AI workflows do not require external services.
