Your Mac clipboard,
finally evolved.

“ClipStruct 2.3 is live! Pure native Swift, zero network requests, 100% on-device storage.”
No items match your search
Try searching for "Xcode", "Color", "Safari", or reset filters.
Engineered for macOS.
Uncompromising productivity.
Every pixel and every line of Swift code is crafted to make copying and pasting effortless, beautiful, and completely confidential.
Universal Instant Search & Source App Filtering
Never lose that link or code snippet again. Search by content keywords or simply type the name of the app you copied from. Filter instantly across thousands of items in less than a millisecond.
Smart Content Categorization
Hex color codes render as clickable color swatches. URLs become interactive rich link cards. Code is formatted cleanly with syntax hints.
Password Manager Shield
ClipStruct actively detects and ignores sensitive items copied from 1Password, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, KeePass, and macOS Keychain. Your secrets are never stored.
Lightning Global Hotkeys
Summon ClipStruct instantly with ⌘ ⇧ V from any application. Navigate with arrow keys, paste with Return, and dismiss with Escape.
Pure Swift & Deduplication
Copy something twice? It automatically floats to the top without generating duplicates. Built purely in Swift — no web wrappers, no Electron, minimal battery drain.
Why power users choose ClipStruct.
Most clipboard managers are either expensive subscriptions or battery-draining Electron apps. ClipStruct is native, private, and free forever.

Your clipboard is
nobody else's business.
We built ClipStruct with an uncompromising principle: no data ever leaves your Mac. No tracking telemetry, no analytics SDKs, no cloud sync, and zero hidden network pings.
Zero Network Entitlement
ClipStruct is compiled without network client entitlements. The macOS kernel itself prevents the app from opening outbound internet connections.
Strictly Local Storage
Your history is stored locally in ~/Library/Application Support/ClipStruct on your Mac. You own the files and can delete them whenever you wish.
Password Manager Immune
Auto-detects and ignores passwords copied from 1Password, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, KeePass, and respects ConcealedType pasteboard flags.
100% Open Source Audit
Every single line of Swift and SwiftUI code is public on GitHub under the MIT license. Audit it, compile it yourself with Xcode, or fork it.
