Zamk Everything you copied, one shortcut away.
Zamk is a clipboard manager for macOS that lives in your menu bar. Press ⌘⇧V, search or scroll your history in a bar at the bottom of the screen, and paste straight into the app you were using.
Every kind of clip
Zamk keeps text, rich text, links, images, files, and colors, each on its own card. You choose how long history lasts: one day, one week, one month, or forever.
Paste where you were
Return pastes the selected card straight into the app you were using once you grant Accessibility access; without it, Zamk copies the item for you to paste. Shift+Return pastes plain text, and you can drag a card out into any app.
Search as you type
Start typing as soon as the bar opens and the cards narrow to what matches, or filter by kind with one click. Press Space on a card for a large preview before you paste it.
Text in images
Copied screenshots are read on your Mac, so you can search for the words inside them and paste them as text. The text is never shown on the card, and you can turn this off.
Code and links, understood
Code snippets show their language with syntax colors, in the card and the preview. Link cards show the page's title, icon, and preview image.
Paste several at once
Select a run of cards with shift and the arrow keys, or cmd+click them in any order, and Return pastes them all, one per line. Hold cmd and press 1 to 9 to paste a card instantly.
Private by design
Copies that password managers mark as concealed or transient are never recorded, and you can exclude any app. Your history stays on your Mac, with no accounts and no analytics.

Your clipboard never leaves your Mac.
Everything you copy is stored on your Mac and nowhere else. Text in images is read on-device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no server. The only things Zamk ever fetches are a copied link's title and preview, which you can turn off, and its own updates.
