Pickclip lives in your menu bar. Copy text and a small popup appears at your cursor — translate, fix, or organize it in one click, powered by Apple Intelligence on your Mac. Ignore it and the popup vanishes — your copy stays in history, ready to act on later.

Hit ⌘C like you already do, in any app. The popup appears near your cursor — and auto-dismisses in 2.5 s if you ignore it.
Translate to Spanish, French, German, or Japanese. Fix spelling & grammar. Organize rambles into clean paragraphs and bullets.
The result is on your clipboard — with guards that never let an AI mangle or drop your text silently. ⌘V and done.
Press ⌘⇧V and everything you’ve copied is right there: searchable, pinnable, aging out on its own. The popup stays instant and ephemeral — history is the safety net underneath it. Passwords and copies from apps you’ve excluded are never stored, and none of it leaves your Mac.
Browse, search, and paste anything you copied earlier — text, rich text, or images. Pin the ones you reuse; the rest expire on their own.
Translate, Fix, Clean Link, or any custom action — applied to something you copied an hour ago. The result pastes straight back into the app you’re in. This is the part no other clipboard manager does.
Links, images, emails, JSON, numbers… one click narrows a long history to just the kind of thing you’re after. Chips only show the types you’ve actually copied.
Pull a link’s title and icon when you want them — and only then. Pickclip never reaches out to your links on its own.
English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese — at your cursor, in about a second, without opening a browser tab.
Spelling, grammar, punctuation — corrected in place. Never rewrites your meaning, never drops a sentence.
Turn a stream of consciousness into tidy paragraphs and bullet points before anyone else reads it.
Copy a screenshot and pull every word out of it — error dialogs, slides, Wi-Fi passwords. On-device Vision OCR.
One hotkey opens the system crosshair. The capture lands in Pickclip: extract its text, or file it away.
Type “the downloads folder” and your screenshot is filed there. Pickclip finds the folder for you.
Highlight text in any app → Services → Pickclip. In standard Mac text fields, the result replaces your selection in place — no clipboard round-trip at all.
Name a workflow and describe what it should do. Pickclip figures out whether it's a job for AI or for a tiny script it writes for you — then it shows up in your popup, right under the built-ins.
“Rewrite this as a polite email.” “Summarize in one line.” “Make it sound confident.” Anything about tone or meaning runs on the same private, on-device model as the built-ins.
For the things AI fumbles — dates, numbers, patterns. Pickclip writes a small script, shows it to you to approve, then runs it locally in a sandbox: instant, exact, and identical every time. No AI at run time.
Pickclip runs on Apple Intelligence — the model on your Mac’s own silicon. No account, no API key, no telemetry, no text leaving your machine. Prefer your own models? Point it at a local Ollama server and it falls back seamlessly. Your clipboard history is kept only on your Mac — passwords and excluded apps are never recorded — and link previews are fetched only when you ask for one.
Requirements: macOS 26 or later · Apple Silicon · Apple Intelligence enabled (or a local Ollama install).
