Highlights

  • Clipboard: saves everything you copy (text, links, images, files) and shows it on the notch. Search with @image and @link filters, pin to boards, lock boards with a passcode, sync through iCloud, paste several clips in order with Copy Stack, and use MCP for AI agents. A shortcut opens a quick panel, like Win+V on Windows.
  • Screenshots: capture an area, a window, the full screen or a scrolling page. OCR, QR scanning and auto-redaction of personal info are built in. In the editor, drag an annotation past the edge and the image grows to fit, or erase an unwanted object with one selection.
  • AI: follow Claude Code and Codex: what each session is doing, approve requests on the notch, check the 5-hour and weekly quota, and get a ping when a task is done.
  • Music: controls for Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music, lyrics that run word by word, and a player on the lock screen.
  • Calendar: see events, add reminders and read a summary of your day on the notch, with a Join button in alerts for Zoom, Meet and Teams meetings.
  • Smart Select: highlight text anywhere to translate it (Apple on-device, Google, or your own AI key), or convert currency, units and time zones.
  • Files: drag files onto the notch to resize, compress, convert, remove the background, run OCR or merge PDFs.
  • Window snapping: drag a window up to the notch to split the screen in halves, thirds, quarters or sixths.
  • And more: a focus timer, hiding menu bar icons, a pill on Macs without a notch, 19 languages and more.

What makes it different

  • Nearly 50 features, big and small, in one app, and most of them are free. The free version does not expire and needs no account, in a category where most paid apps cost $10 to $25 once.
  • The clipboard and screenshots are the two biggest parts of the app: history, boards and passcode locks on one side, annotation, OCR and background removal on the other.
  • Made for people who code with AI: see what Claude Code and Codex are doing, approve requests, check quota, and let AI find your clipboard through MCP.
  • Clipboard data stays on your Mac. To sync between Macs, it goes through your own iCloud.
