More than the last thing you copied
Find the clip you need in seconds.
HotClip turns copy and paste into a searchable workflow without turning your clipboard into a cloud account.
Find words inside screenshots
Apple Vision recognition runs locally so copied images become searchable while the originals stay intact.
Reuse snippets and paste queues
Keep common text ready and paste a sequence of clips without jumping between documents.
Private by design
Your clipboard stays on your Mac.
Normal clipboard history, search, OCR, previews and transformations run locally. Pause capture, ignore the next copy, exclude apps, or clear history whenever you want.
