Whisk
Your clipboard, remembered.
A free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS. Everything you copy lands in a Liquid Glass panel — search it, filter it, pin it, stack it, drag it, paste it. All local, keyboard-first.
macOS 14+ · Liquid Glass on macOS 26 · GPL-3.0
Try it right here
A faithful little simulation of the panel. Type to filter, tap the chips, tap a card to paste it into the note — and keep scrolling: it grows to the real thing.
The real panel floats over everything you do — ⇧⌘V from any app.
Everything a clipboard should have kept
Paste stack
Copy five things, paste five things. Queue cards with ⇧⏎, then pop them one by one into any form or document with a single global shortcut — collect once, paste in order, never alt-tab back.
Search that understands
Type slack invoice and find the invoice you copied from Slack. Free words search content and source app together; app: and type: scope it tight.
Filters that think
One chip per app, one per content kind, pinned items up front. Stack them freely — each facet narrows the other, so a dead-end filter simply cannot be built.
Drag & drop
Every card is draggable — text into an email, an image into a deck, a file into Finder. The panel floats over your work, so the drop target is already on screen.
You see what you paste
Links show their title and cover, code arrives syntax-highlighted, colors render as swatches in any notation — hex, rgb(), hsl() — and files get QuickLook thumbnails.
Paste, minus the mess
Formatting is kept when you want it and stripped when you don't: ⏎ pastes rich, ⌥⏎ pastes plain. Never paste white-on-white text again.
Hands stay on the keyboard
Arrows, ⏎ in place, ⌘1…9 direct hits, ⌘Y for a big preview. Every shortcut is remappable and follows your actual layout — Dvorak and AZERTY included.
Speaks fluent Vim
Flip one switch and the panel opens in normal mode — hjkl to move, gg and G to jump, p to paste, dd to delete, / to search. Every key rebindable.
Private by design
Your history never leaves your Mac — no cloud, no account, no analytics. Password managers stay unrecorded, capture pauses in one click, and any app can be excluded for good.
Yours, not rented
Free and open source, GPL — no subscription, no lock-in. Built in Swift with a clean, tested architecture: read it, build it, improve it.
