📋 ClipTray

📣 What this app will do for you

This app will keep a searchable history of what you copy — text and images — in a menu-bar popover, and paste any earlier item back with a click. Everything stays on your Mac; nothing is uploaded. Heads up: the Mac build is in progress — there is no download or purchase yet.

Everything you copied, searchable. Click any earlier item to paste it back.

Coming soon — Mac build in progress. ClipTray is not available to buy or download yet. The Mac app is being built now; this page will offer the download the moment a tested build exists.

$29 planned one-time price. No subscription. No purchase yet — the price is shown so you know what it will cost when it launches.

What's planned: the full ClipTray app for macOS (Apple Silicon) · one license covers 3 computers (free a slot anytime by deactivating a computer in the app) · your license key is emailed at checkout and can also be shown on screen right after payment.

What it does

  • Searchable history — every copy lands in a menu-bar popover, newest first, with a search field that filters as you type.
  • Click to paste back — clicking an item puts it on the pasteboard, and with Accessibility permission granted ClipTray pastes it straight into the app you were using.
  • Text and images — copied text is stored inline and copied images are kept as PNG files next to the history.
  • Local only, always — history lives under Application Support on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or shared anywhere.

⚠️ Scope notes — read before launch

  • Text and images only. File copies, rich-text formatting, and colors are not captured in v1.
  • History is capped at 200 items (oldest dropped first), and repeated copies of the same thing are stored once.
  • No sync, no cloud. History lives on one Mac — it does not follow you to another machine.
  • Apple Silicon only (M1 or later). There is no Intel Mac build planned for v1.

If any of the above is a deal-breaker for you, v1 isn't for you yet — and we'd rather tell you now than after checkout.

Download

macOS (Apple Silicon, M1 or later) when it launches.

No download is available yet. The macOS download will appear here the moment a tested build is published — there is no installer link today, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

When the installer ships, it will be unsigned at first, so macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning on first launch — this is normal for a new publisher. Right-click the app and choose Open.
