What it helps with

A calm clipboard workflow for everyday Mac work

Cliplane stays focused on the jobs a clipboard utility should do well: capture useful copies, help you find them again, and give you control over what is kept.

Find copied work fast

Search recent text, images, links, code, and file-list clips from a compact native Mac utility.

Reuse without friction

Pin useful clips, copy them again, paste normally, or paste text without original formatting.

Open from anywhere

Use the menu bar icon or the configurable keyboard shortcut when Cliplane is running.

Skip sensitive apps

Exclude password managers, private tools, or client apps so future copies from them are rejected before saving.

Delete what you do not need

Remove individual clips, clear scoped history, and manage local storage without needing an account.

Back up local history

Use local backup and recovery controls designed to avoid showing clipboard contents in manifests or diagnostics.

Built around clipboard privacy from the first run

We built Cliplane because we wanted a clipboard app that felt native, quiet, fast, and respectful of private Mac workflows.

Read the Cliplane privacy page

Local by default

Cliplane does not require cloud sync or an account for core clipboard history.

Encrypted local payloads

Clipboard payloads are protected locally with app encryption material stored through macOS Keychain APIs.

No raw clipboard diagnostics

Diagnostics use operation names, statuses, counts, and safe metadata instead of raw clipboard text, image bytes, file names, or copied URLs.

Privacy-safe support

Feedback email drafts include app, version, and macOS context, and explicitly do not attach clipboard history.

Find previous copies quickly

Search through recent clipboard items and preview what you copied without returning to the original app or document.

Stay keyboard-first

Open Cliplane with Command+Option+V, move through results, and reuse selected clips without making the clipboard app the center of your day.

A small Mac utility with a very specific job.

Cliplane is part of NextPage's product-building work: practical software, narrow enough to stay useful, and careful enough for workflows that may contain private text.
