Don't copy anything else... don't copy anything else... don't—

You know when you're holding something important in your clipboard, then all of a sudden you ⌘C something else and... poof, it's gone?

Clipbasket catches everything you copy so you can retrieve what you copied 10 minutes ago, 10 days ago, or even last month. Stop keeping a mental log of your clipboard: that's our job now.

Extract text inside images

Select & copy text from your screenshots

Take your screenshots as usual: Clipbasket will not only keep track of them, but extract all text so you can select, copy, and search any of it. Receipts, images, PDFs that won't let you select anything. Clipbasket reads them all for you. If you can see the text, you can copy it.

Ready for AI

Copy from the web, paste clean Markdown

The last thing you want to do when talking with an AI is waste time cleaning up garbage formatting when you copy from a webpage, Notion, or document. No structure, weird spacing, invisible characters. Clipbasket converts it for you, so you can start feeding ChatGPT clean text in Markdown format.

100% local. Everything stays in your Mac.

No account. Your clipboard never leaves your computer.

Why I built this

Your clipboard only keeps one item at a time. That's crazy.

One day, I copied something important. Spent the next hour reorganizing files, deleting old stuff, waiting for the moment to paste this thing. The whole time I was thinking: "It's fine, I have it in my clipboard."

Then I accidentally hit ⌘C on something else.

Gone.

I spent 45 minutes trying to recover it. Couldn't. That's when I learned: your Mac's clipboard only holds one thing.

And that's why you're reading this website now.
