macOS Clipboard manager · pay once · no account
Your clipboard, with a memory and a brain.
Stashcut keeps everything you copy, keeps your secrets out of it, and answers questions about it with a model that runs on your Mac.
⇧⌘V pastes anything you ever copied. ⇧⌘B searches all of it. Works offline. Yours forever.
Works with
- Ollama
- 1Password
- Obsidian
- Claude Code
- opencode
- Any MCP agent
What it does
Copy like nobody is counting. Stashcut is.
A clipboard manager first: fast, keyboard driven, out of the way. Then everything a clipboard should have learned to do by 2026.
Nothing you copy is ever gone
Hundreds of clippings, in order, with the app they came from. Paste the third-last thing with ⇧⌘V and two arrow keys, even when something else is on the clipboard now. The bezel stays up while you pick.
Find it in a keystroke
⇧⌘B searches the whole history. Ignores case, ignores accents, understands Arabic, Japanese and emoji, and finds what meant the same thing, not only what spelled the same.
Secrets never land in history
API keys, passwords, card and bank numbers are recognised the moment you copy them and kept out. You get told once, and can hand the secret to 1Password instead.
A guard before a risky paste
About to paste something that looks like a credential into a chat, a terminal or a browser? Stashcut asks first. You choose which apps count as risky.
Screenshots too
Copy an image and it is kept alongside your text, saved to a folder you can open, and pastes back like it never left.
Send it to Obsidian
One key files the clipping, text or picture, into today's daily note in your vault, under a heading Stashcut keeps for itself. Your notes stay yours; nothing is synced anywhere.
Looks the way you want
Solid colour, gradient or your own image behind the bezel, on every screen. Menu bar icon, hotkeys, bezel size, how long the panel stays: all yours to set.
Works with what you already use
Plugged into your stack. Not into a cloud.
Every integration talks to software on your own Mac. Stashcut adds no account, no token of its own and no server between you and your tools.
Ollama
Ask your clipboard with a model that never leaves the machine. Stashcut finds your running Ollama and lists its models, no setup.
Built in1Password
A copied secret can go straight into your vault instead of your history, and a stored one can be pasted from the bezel without ever showing on screen.
Built inObsidian
One key sends a clipping into today's daily note, under a heading of its own. Text and pictures. Your vault stays a folder of files.
Built inClaude Code
One button registers Stashcut's read-only MCP server with Claude's own CLI, shows you the exact command, and verifies it took.
Built inopencode
Same one-button setup. Your agent can search your history, fetch a clipping or see the newest ones, and never write to it.
Built inNext up

One person makes Stashcut and answers the mail. That is who you are paying.
Ask your clipboard
The thing you copied at 09:41 is the answer. Ask for it.
Plain words in, the right clipping out. Stashcut picks the few clippings that are actually about your question, shows you how many it used, and never sends the rest.
› ask what did the client want changed on the proposal?
Three things, from the clipping you copied from Mail at 16:12:
1. move delivery to the week of the 5th
2. drop the onboarding workshop, they will do it in-house
3. invoice in two parts, 40 / 60

Bring your own brain
Stashcut ships no model and keeps no key. Point it at a model on this Mac, or at any endpoint you already trust. The Preferences pane says in one sentence whether your text stays on the machine.
Ollama on this MacDetected automatically. Pick a model from the list.

you choose
Credentials are excluded before the question is even assembled. The answer says how many were withheld.
For coding agents
Your agent forgot what you pasted. Stashcut did not.
Stashcut ships a tiny read-only Model Context Protocol server. Claude Code, opencode, or anything that speaks MCP can search your history, fetch one clipping, or see the newest ones. Off by default. One button to set up.
Three tools, zero writes
search get recent. That is the whole surface. An agent cannot add to your history, delete from it, or paste. It runs as a child of the agent you started, so there is no port, no token, no daemon.
Set up without touching a config file
Press Configure opencode or Configure Claude. Stashcut shows the exact command, runs that tool's own CLI, checks for a duplicate first and verifies afterwards. It never opens or rewrites your configuration file.
Credentials stay invisible to agents, in every form
Not the value, not the 1Password reference, not even the item's title. They are reported as a count so the agent knows something was withheld and does not reason around a gap it cannot see. Clippings that look like card numbers, bank accounts, keys or bulk email lists come back with their text replaced by a plain notice.

See it move.
Copy, carousel, search, a secret kept out, a question answered. Real screen, no cuts.
recording Tell me when it is upPrivacy, the boring kind
Your clipboard is the most private thing on your Mac. We treat it that way.
Three promises, each one checkable by looking at the app.
No account
Buy it, download it, use it. There is nothing to sign in to and nobody to sign in as.
No analytics
No telemetry, no crash reporter that phones home, no "anonymous usage data". Zero.
No cloud of ours
History lives in your Library folder. The only network calls are the ones you configure, to the model endpoint you chose.
Questions
Asked before you asked
Does it need an internet connection?
No. History, search, secret detection and the agent server all work offline. Ask your clipboard talks to whatever model endpoint you set, which can be a model on this very Mac.
Which AI does it use?
Yours. Point it at Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Stashcut ships no model, keeps no key of its own, and never routes your text through a server of ours.
Where is my history stored?
In macOS preferences under com.stashcut.app and in ~/Library/Application Support/Stashcut for images, backdrops and the search index. Delete the app and the folder, and it is gone.
Is the agent server safe to turn on?
It is off until you switch it on. It is read-only, it runs only while an agent you started is running, it never returns credentials in any form, and it withholds anything that looks like a card, an account, a key or a bulk mailing list.
Is Stashcut open source?
Stashcut is built on Flycut and Jumpcut, both MIT licensed, and their notices ship in the app's Credits tab. The additions that make Stashcut what it is are proprietary. You are paying for those, and for the person keeping them working.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes. One licence covers the Macs you personally use.
What about iCloud sync and an iPhone app?
Not yet. Sync will arrive as an opt-in, off by default, once the plumbing meets the same standard as everything else here. An iOS companion is on the list after that.
Refunds?
Fourteen days, no questions. If Stashcut does not earn its place in your menu bar, write and get your €29 back.
Stop losing what you copied.
Install it before lunch. By the afternoon you will have pasted something you would otherwise have retyped.
