FeaturesClipivo for macOS
Everything it does.
A clipboard manager for the Mac that remembers everything you copy, finds it in a keystroke, and keeps it private. Here’s the whole list.
Capture7 features
It keeps everything.
Clipboard history
Every copy is saved the moment you make it, in the background. Clipivo’s own pastes are never captured twice, and copying something again moves it to the front.
Unlimited retention
No 50-, 500- or 1,000-item caps and no 30-day expiry. Unlimited by policy, constrained only by available local storage. Cleanup rules are optional.
Rich content
Plain text, RTF, HTML and web archives — every useful representation is kept, so formatting survives the round trip.
Images & screenshots
PNG, JPEG, HEIC, GIF, WebP and TIFF, with thumbnails generated on your Mac and the original size in every card.
Files & folders
One file, many files or whole folders — with icons, Quick Look, Reveal in Finder and a warning if the original has moved.
Code
Code is recognised and syntax-highlighted in 18 languages, so a snippet from last month still reads like code.
Colors
Hex, RGB, HSL and native colors become swatches. Right-click › Copy Color As… to switch formats.
Find4 features
It finds anything.
Search
Case-insensitive substring search across clipboard text, titles, OCR text, file names, URLs, tags and source apps. Several words must all match; quotes keep a phrase together.
Filters
Filter by type, app, Space, pin or date from the toolbar — or type filters straight into the search field.
On-device OCR
Text inside images is recognised in the background with Apple’s Vision framework and becomes searchable. Copy Text from Image in one click.
Quick Look
Press Space or ⌘Y to preview text, code, images with their recognised text, PDFs, files and colors.

Search syntax
Type filters straight into the search field and combine them with words.

Organize3 features
It stays tidy.
Spaces
Group clips into Spaces — Work, Personal, Development or your own. A clip can live in several; deleting a Space keeps its clips in History.
⌘N
Pinning
Pin the clips you reach for every day. Pinned clips keep the order you give them and are never removed by cleanup.
⌘P
Titles & tags
Name any clip and tag it. Titles are never overwritten automatically, and both are searchable.
⌘R⌘T
Paste1 feature
It pastes where you are.
Paste modes
Click a clip — or press ↩ — and it pastes into the app you were typing in, then moves to the front of your history as the current clipboard. ⇧ pastes plain text, ⌥ just copies, and Settings can make copying the default.

Privacy2 features
It knows what not to keep.
App filtering
Add any app to the ignore list and its clipboard is never read. Copies from known password managers are skipped automatically.
Privacy controls
Likely secrets trigger a prompt by default. Private clips are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and an optional Touch ID lock hides your history.
Mac5 features
It feels like the Mac.
Menu bar
Search, Recent Clips, Spaces and Pause are one click away in the menu bar. A Dock icon is optional.
Shelf or list
A full-width card shelf docks to the bottom of the screen you’re working on — or the top, if you prefer. Want it smaller? Choose Floating list in Settings ▸ Appearance.
Storage management
See what your history uses, clear the thumbnail cache, compact the database or rebuild the search index.
Export & backups
Export and import .clipivo archives, and keep automatic local backups. Imports are checked and de-duplicated.
Appearance & accessibility
Light, Dark or System; compact or comfortable density; VoiceOver labels and Reduce Motion support.
