BetterTouchTool
A powerful clipboard manager for your Mac
Everything you copy, one shortcut away — browse, search and preview your clipboard history, then paste exactly what you need, formatted or as plain text.
The macOS clipboard only remembers the last thing you copied. BetterTouchTool's built-in clipboard manager keeps a searchable history of text, images, files and links — with previews — so you can go back to anything you've copied and paste it wherever you are.
Open it with any trigger — a keyboard shortcut, a trackpad gesture, a Stream Deck key — and paste with a click or the keyboard. Items can be pasted with their original formatting or as plain text, and you can even transform clipboard contents with JavaScript before pasting.
🔎
Instant search
Start typing to filter the history — find that link you copied an hour ago in a second.
📝
Paste as plain text
Strip formatting on paste — or keep it. Your choice, per paste.
🧑💻
Transform before pasting
Run JavaScript transformers on clipboard items — change case, clean up whitespace, rewrite URLs, anything.
⚡
Open with any trigger
A shortcut, a three-finger swipe, a Stream Deck key — the clipboard history is available however you like to work.
🔒
Stays on your Mac
Your clipboard history is stored locally on your Mac.
A few examples - the possibilities are endless:
- Right ⌘ + space → show clipboard history
- Three finger swipe up → show clipboard manager
- Search “invoice” → paste the file you copied this morning
- Paste as plain text into any app
- JavaScript transformer: paste text in UPPERCASE
