Clipobara keeps everything you copy on your Mac — organized, searchable, and instantly one keystroke away. Lightweight, native, and private by design.
Free · macOS 14+ · Press ⌘⇧V to open your history
Text, rich text, links, images, files — every pasteboard change is captured and kept until you decide otherwise.
Type a few characters and jump straight to that link from last week or the snippet from this morning.
Clipobara preserves every readable representation and restores them together — formatting and all.
Password managers are excluded out of the box, and nothing ever leaves your Mac. Ever.
Your clipboard is some of the most sensitive data on your Mac. Clipobara has no networking code whatsoever — your history physically cannot leave your machine.
History lives in your local Application Support folder. Keep up to 500 items and 512 MB by default — or tune both limits in Settings.
Text, rich text, HTML, links, images, files — even unknown pasteboard formats are stored faithfully.
A true Mac app that lives in your menu bar — instant to open, light on memory and battery.
⌘⇧V by default, but you can record any global shortcut right in Settings.
Copy the same thing twice in a row? Clipobara keeps one entry. Frequently used clips can jump to the front.
See the source app’s icon, a relative timestamp, a preview, and the payload size on every card.
Common password managers are ignored by default. Add any app’s bundle ID to the exclusion list.
Clipobara sits quietly in your menu bar and records every change to the system pasteboard.
A history panel slides up from the bottom of your screen — newest clips first, search ready.
Arrow keys or mouse, then Return. The clip is back on your clipboard — paste it anywhere with ⌘V.
Copy a snippet from Stack Overflow, then another, then a terminal command — they’re all there, neatly stacked and searchable.
Hex colors, icons, exported assets, reference screenshots — retrieve any of them the moment you need them.
That paragraph you cut an hour ago? Still there. Taglines, keywords, quotes — nothing gets overwritten.
Keep templates and frequent answers in your history and drop them into any app in seconds.
Free download. No account, no subscription, no strings.
Just a better clipboard for your Mac.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer · Apple Silicon & Intel
No. Clipobara contains no networking code at all — no sync, no telemetry, no crash reporting. History is stored locally in your Application Support folder and nowhere else.
Copies from common password managers are excluded by default. You can add any other app to the exclusion list in Settings using its bundle identifier.
By default up to 500 items and 512 MB of payloads. Both limits are configurable, and adjacent duplicate copies are collapsed automatically.
Yes. Clipobara preserves all readable pasteboard representations — plain text, rich text, HTML, images, file references — and restores them together, so pasting works exactly like the original copy.
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, both Apple Silicon and Intel.
