The clipboard manager for developers on Mac

Developers copy all day: commands, stack traces, SQL, PR links, tokens. Clipboardly keeps all of it, tags code and API keys automatically, and pastes any of it back into your editor or terminal with a shortcut.

A board per ticket

Make a board for the ticket you’re on and set it active. Log lines, SQL, PR links and test commands collect in one place, ready for the write-up.

Keep a Snippets board for things you reuse every week
Pin the commands you run daily

Paste without leaving your editor

Press ⌘⇧X in VS Code, Xcode or Terminal, type a few letters and press Return. The command is pasted right at your cursor.

It recognizes code and keys

Snippets are tagged as Code and tokens as API Key automatically, so you can filter to them in one click and lock the sensitive ones.

Pause before you copy secrets

Moving values between .env files? Hit Pause, copy what you need, then resume. Nothing copied while paused is saved.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clipboardly work in Terminal, VS Code and Xcode?

Yes. Press ⌘⇧X in any app, type a few letters of what you copied and press Return to paste it at your cursor.

Is it safe to copy API keys and passwords?

Clipboardly tags API keys and passwords automatically. Lock them behind a 4-digit PIN, or press Pause before you copy secrets so nothing is saved.

Can I connect Clipboardly to AI coding tools?

Yes. Clipboardly can share your clipboard history with Claude, Cursor or Codex over MCP, running locally on your Mac. It is off until you connect an app.
