and URLs have you re-copied because
⌘V only holds one thing?"

Testimonials

Loved by people who copy things.

"I didn't realise how much I needed a clipboard manager until I started using one. maClip is the fastest, leanest option I've tried — the snip tool is a daily bonus."

"As a designer I copy hex codes, reference images, and specs constantly. maClip's always one shortcut away. Worth every penny — and then some at $5."

★★★★★

"Exactly what ⌘V should have been on macOS from day one. Native Swift, tiny footprint, completely private. The $5 price is almost insulting how good it is."

FAQ

Common questions.

maClip requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. It is a native Swift app that uses modern macOS APIs not available in older versions.
Accessibility permission is required to intercept the global ⌘ Shift V shortcut from any app — this is a macOS requirement for all global hotkeys. Screen Recording is required for the Snip tool to capture screen regions. maClip never sends any data anywhere; both permissions are used entirely on-device.
No. maClip holds your clipboard history in memory only. It is cleared when you quit or click "Clear All". Nothing is written to disk, synced to a server, or sent anywhere, ever.
No. maClip uses under 5 MB of RAM and polls the clipboard every 0.5 seconds — negligible CPU overhead. It is a native Swift app with no background processes beyond a single timer.
Yes. One $5 purchase covers personal use on all your own Macs. Download and run the app on each machine — no license keys or activation required.
The global keyboard shortcut (CGEventTap) and screen capture APIs maClip relies on require running outside Apple's App Sandbox. App Sandbox restrictions in the Mac App Store prevent these capabilities, so maClip is distributed as a direct download only.
