How it works

Three steps. Zero app switching.

Stop bouncing between windows to move a few values. Collect first, paste later.

Copy freely

Grab a name, an email, a link, an image — as many things as you like, from any app. CopyCat quietly stacks them up.

Press ⌘⇧V

A compact palette appears over whatever you're doing. Type to search, use the arrows, or hit ⌘1–9 for the quick picks.

Paste the right one

Hit Return — CopyCat restores focus to the app you were in and pastes for you. Files paste as files, images as images.

Everything you copy

Not just text.

CopyCat understands what you copied and shows it the right way — thumbnails for images, swatches for colors, favicons for links.

Text Links Emails Colors Images Videos Files

Features

Small app. Sharp tools.

Everything you need from a clipboard companion — nothing you don't.

Search as you type

The panel filters instantly with every keystroke. A thousand clips, one frame — no waiting, no loading.

Pin your favorites

⌘P keeps a clip at the top forever. Pinned clips never expire from the stack, even across restarts.

Keyboard first

Arrows to move, ⌘1–9 to paste instantly, ⌫ to delete, ←→ for categories. Your hands never leave the keys.

Organized by day

Pinned, Today, Yesterday, and beyond — your history reads like a timeline, with source app and time on every clip.

Password-manager aware

Anything marked sensitive or transient by password managers is never captured. Not even for a second.

Excluded apps

Tell CopyCat to ignore any app entirely — copies made there never enter your stack.

Feather-light & native

Real Swift, real AppKit. Near-zero idle CPU, a 2 MB download, and a panel that opens before you blink.

Seamless updates

New versions arrive quietly with a one-click install — signed, notarized, and verified by macOS every time.

Pastes like magic

Hit Return and CopyCat flips back to the app you were in and pastes for you — files land as files, images as images.

Private by design.

Your clipboard is some of the most sensitive data on your Mac. CopyCat treats it that way.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How many Macs can I use it on?

All of yours. One license covers every Mac you personally own — activate and deactivate machines yourself, no emails to support needed.

Is there a trial?

Instead of a trial we offer a straightforward 7-day money-back guarantee. Buy it, use it for real, and if it's not for you, get a full refund — no questions asked.

Does my clipboard data go anywhere?

No. Everything you copy stays on your Mac. The app talks to the network only for license activation, update checks, and (optionally) fetching link favicons — never your clipboard content. Details in the privacy policy.

Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?

The App Store sandbox forbids the one thing that makes CopyCat magical: pasting directly into the app you were using. So we ship it ourselves — signed, notarized, and verified by Apple's Gatekeeper on every launch.

Which macOS versions are supported?

macOS 26 and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Does normal ⌘V still work?

Untouched. CopyCat lives entirely behind ⌘⇧V — your muscle memory stays exactly as it is.
