What does ClipBear help with?

ClipBear is a native macOS clipboard manager built for developers. Beyond storing what you copy, it understands it: ClipBear automatically detects 13 content types and lets you act on them inline โ€” decode a JWT, format JSON, convert a color between HEX/RGB/HSL, read a cron expression in plain English, extract the timestamp from a MongoDB ObjectID, or pull text out of a screenshot with on-device OCR โ€” without leaving your clipboard or pasting anything into a website.

It's local-first and private by design: clipboard history is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your Mac's hardware โ€” no cloud, no account. An app blacklist keeps sensitive apps (like your password manager) out of your history entirely.

Highlights: โ€ข 13 developer content types detected automatically (JWT, JSON, MongoDB ObjectID, UUID, cron, IPv4/IPv6, Unix/ISO timestamps, colors, emails, URLs) โ€ข One-click transformations: decode JWTs, format JSON, convert colors, IPโ†’CIDR, URL/HTML encode & decode โ€ข On-device OCR (Apple Vision) and AI grammar correction (Apple Intelligence) โ€” nothing leaves your Mac โ€ข AES-256 encrypted, local-only history; pin items to Cmd+1โ€“5, search with Cmd+F โ€ข App blacklist for sensitive apps

Free to use (clipboard history limited to 10 items). Pro is $15/year and unlocks unlimited history โ€” try every Pro feature free for 14 days, no credit card. One license covers 2 Macs.
