Make your Mac clipboard
smarter
ClipBear doesn't just remember what you copy. It understands it. Convert colors, decode tokens, format JSON, extract text from images, fix grammar — all from your menu bar.
Other clipboard managers store text. That's it.
You copy a MongoDB ObjectID and have to open a separate tool to decode the timestamp. You copy JSON and need to switch to a formatter. You copy a color hex and can't preview it. You copy text with a typo and paste it everywhere.
Your clipboard is the most-used tool you never think about. It should be doing more.
Everything you'd expect, and everything you wouldn't
Lightning Access
Custom global shortcut opens your full history instantly. Default Cmd+B, but make it anything you want. Access your entire clipboard history with a single keystroke.
AI Grammar Correction
On-device Apple Intelligence checks every text entry. One click to copy the corrected version. Nothing leaves your Mac. Requires macOS 15.1+ with Apple Silicon.
Smart Search & Content Tags
Cmd+F to search your entire history. Filter by type — emails, URLs, colors, Mongo IDs, Unix timestamps, ISO dates, JWTs, UUIDs, IPs, cron expressions, credit cards, images, files. 13 content types detected automatically.
Styled Screenshots
One click to wrap any screenshot in a beautiful gradient background with shadows. Customize gradient colors in settings. Ready to share on Slack, social media, or presentations.
Developer Power Tools
HTML/URL encoding, JSON key formatting, color conversion (HEX ↔ RGB ↔ HSL), MongoDB ObjectID timestamps, Unix timestamp parsing, and email/URL extraction — all one click away.
Pin Your Favorites
Pin your most-used snippets. Access them instantly with Cmd+1 through Cmd+5. Always at the top, always ready.
URL → QR Code
Copy any standalone URL as a 400×400 PNG QR code — directly to your clipboard. No app, no website, no upload.
OCR — Extract Text from Images
Every copied image is scanned on-device by Apple's Vision framework. Recognized text fades in beside the thumbnail. One click to copy the full extracted text — no app switching, no cloud upload.
Image & File Support
Screenshots and images stored with compact thumbnails, size info, and native macOS screenshot integration. Files tracked with icons and paths.
Keyboard First
Navigate with arrows, copy with Enter, delete with Backspace, multi-select with Shift. Never touch your mouse.
Encrypted History
AES-256-GCM encryption. Keys derived from your hardware. No keychain popups. No cloud. Zero config.
The clipboard that understands your code
ClipBear auto-detects developer content and offers instant transformations. No separate tools, no context switching.
MongoDB ObjectID → Timestamp
Automatically extracts and displays the embedded timestamp from any valid ObjectID.
JSON Key Formatting
Toggle between quoted JSON keys and unquoted JS object notation. Auto-formats with 2-space indent.
HTML & URL Encode/Decode
One-click encoding and decoding. Detects standalone URLs and HTML entities automatically.
Color Detection & Conversion
Detects hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA values. Live swatch preview. Convert between formats instantly.
Email & URL Extraction
Paste a wall of text — ClipBear finds and extracts every email address or URL into a clean list.
Unix Timestamp Detection
Recognizes both second (10-digit) and millisecond (13-digit) Unix timestamps with instant conversion.
ISO 8601 Date → Unix Timestamp
Detects ISO datetime strings and displays a human-readable UTC line inline. One click to copy as a Unix timestamp.
JWT Decoding
Detects JSON Web Tokens (with or without Bearer prefix). Copy the decoded header or payload as pretty-printed JSON — no jwt.io tab required.
UUID Detection & Timestamp Extraction
Detects canonical UUIDs and shows the version (v1–v7). v1 and v7 UUIDs have an embedded timestamp — ClipBear extracts and displays it inline.
Cron Expression → Human Readable
Detects 5-field cron strings and converts them to a plain-English schedule summary inline — no more mental parsing.
Image Format Conversion
Convert any copied image or single image file between PNG, JPG, and WebP with a system save sheet. Real files, no middleman.
