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 it vanishes.

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.
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.
Requirements: macOS 26 or later · Apple Silicon · Apple Intelligence enabled (or a local Ollama install).
