The problem

Copying is easy.
Getting it back is not.

You copy dozens of things a day and macOS remembers exactly one. The rest is gone: the token, the address, the snippet of code, the screenshot with the number you needed. So you go find it again.

  • The system clipboard holds one item.
  • Screenshots are images — their text can't be searched.
  • Cloud managers want an account, sync and your trust.

What's inside

A clipboard that understands
what you give it.

Native OCR

Search the text inside your screenshots

Every image and screenshot runs through Vision as it is saved. Type “invoice” and up comes the screenshot where that word appeared, even though it was never text. Right-click and you can copy the recognized text too.

Notch panel

It shows up where you already look

Move the pointer to the notch and the panel unfolds without stealing focus from the app behind it. Move away and it tucks back in. ⌃⌘V opens it with the keyboard.

Snippets

Type ;sig, get the whole thing

Text shortcuts in any app: type your abbreviation and Koppy swaps it for the full block. Emails, replies, commands, boilerplate.

Images

Edit without opening anything

Resize to 75/50/25 %, convert between PNG, JPEG and TIFF, or cut the background out with Vision. All from the card's context menu.

Organization

Spaces, boards and reminders

Group clips into your own collections and view them as a list, as cards or as a kanban board. Pin favorites, set a reminder on a clip, and let old ones auto-delete whenever you say.

Privacy

It never leaves your Mac

No server, no account, no telemetry. It ignores whatever 1Password and friends mark as sensitive, and you can block entire apps by bundle ID.

Plus: a color eyedropper built on NSColorSampler, quick notes, bulk copy, sequential paste, direct access to your last 10 clips, @app and @type search filters, drag and drop into any app, and launch at login.

So how does this pay for itself?

It doesn't, for now. Koppy started as a problem of my own and it runs entirely on your Mac: there are no servers to pay for and no data to sell. If something ever costs money it will be a version for teams — what you download today stays free. If it helps you, tell someone about it.

Stop copying things twice.

It is tiny, it starts with your Mac and it uploads nothing anywhere. Five minutes and you will not go back.
