# Pickclip

> Pickclip is a native macOS menu-bar clipboard manager with on-device AI
> actions: hotkey dictation with a live transcript (⌥⇧D, toggle or
> hold-to-talk, transcribed entirely on the Mac and optionally piped
> straight through an action), a searchable clipboard history (text +
> images) with optional search by meaning, a paste stack, on-the-fly
> prompts, one-key paste shortcuts, and pausable recording, one-tap
> transforms on anything you copy (Fix, Organize, Translate, Clean Link,
> Plain Text), screenshot OCR, and user-defined custom actions in plain
> language — chainable into named sequences.
> Private by design — Apple Intelligence / local models, no cloud service.
> macOS 26+, Apple Silicon. 14-day free trial, one-time license.

Text and results can move between the Mac and an iPhone two ways, both
opt-in and with nothing to install on the phone: a Universal Clipboard
hand-off that runs a chosen action on text copied on the phone and sends
the result back, and a shared iCloud Drive folder ("Pickclip" in the Files
app) with "Send to Mac" and "From Mac". The clipboard history itself never
leaves the Mac — only results travel.

Pickclip exposes a local, token-protected MCP (Model Context Protocol)
server so AI agents can read the user's clipboard history, run Pickclip
actions on clips, put results on the clipboard, and manage custom actions.
It is off by default; the user enables it in Settings → AI Tools. Supported
clients include Claude Desktop (one-click extension), Claude Code, Cursor,
Redeep, and any stdio or localhost-HTTP MCP client.
