What's inside

Nine things you stop switching apps for.

  • Get back anything you copied

    ⌥⇧E searches your last 500 clips: text, images, video, voice.

  • Screenshot, then mark it up

    ⌥⇧D freezes the screen; drag a region, add arrows, text, blur or spotlight.

  • Copy text you can't select

    ⌥⇧F reads any screen region into the clipboard: error dialogs, PDFs, video.

  • Talk instead of typing it out

    ⌥⇧R dictates; ⌥⇧O transcribes audio and video files you drop in.

  • Meeting notes, nothing joins your call

    ⌥⇧M records your mic and the call audio, transcribed locally, labelled Me / Them.

  • Reformat a clip before you paste

    One click: WhatsApp, email, Markdown or a fenced code block.

  • Record the bug as video or GIF

    ⌥⇧V records a region with system audio; one tap makes it a GIF.

  • Screenshot a whole long page

    ⌥⇧S scrolls the app for you and stitches one tall image.

  • Copied API keys stay hidden

    Tokens are detected on copy, shown masked, and never auto-pasted.

All 102 features

Muscle memory

Eight shortcuts that work in any app.

All on ⌥⇧ (Option+Shift), one hand, remappable in Preferences.

  • ⌥⇧EHistory
  • ⌥⇧RVoice note
  • ⌥⇧DAnnotate
  • ⌥⇧FOCR text
  • ⌥⇧OUpload media
  • ⌥⇧MMeeting
  • ⌥⇧VRecord
  • ⌥⇧SScroll capture

Private by design

Your clipboard is nobody's business but yours.

  • Nothing leaves your Mac No accounts, no sync, no telemetry. Klip has nowhere to send your clips.
  • Transcription runs on-device Whisper is the only engine; your audio has nowhere else to go.
  • Keys encrypted at rest AES-256-GCM, key in the macOS Keychain, never stored in the clear.

Get Klip

Build from source in two minutes.

git clone https://github.com/tamibot/klip.git klip
cd klip
./install.sh

macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. Needs the Xcode Command Line Tools — run xcode-select --install. Full Xcode is not required.

There is no download link on purpose: macOS quarantines a downloaded app that isn't notarized, so install.sh signs Klip with a certificate created on your own Mac.

Permissions, uninstall, languages: the README.

Free & open source
