Demo paste, into this note only. Your clipboard is untouched.
Interactive sample, not live AI. Try a tab or an action. Nothing reads or writes your clipboard.
Works with
- Ollama
- 1Password
- Obsidian
- Claude Code
- opencode
- Any MCP agent
What it does
One copy.
More possibilities.
A fast clipboard history at the foundation. Useful layers on top. New in 1.0.3: clickable AI stacks, screenshot layers and cards that tell you what they hold.
The original stays yours
Do more with a copy.
Not more copying.
Summarize a long email. Polish a draft. Explain a snippet. Every answer becomes a named, clickable layer of its source, not another loose clipping. Leave and come back: your chosen layer is still in front.
- Summarize ⇧+⌘+s
- Rewrite clearly ⇧+⌘+r
- Fix spelling & grammar ⇧+⌘+f
- Explain ⇧+⌘+e
- Translate to English ⇧+⌘+t
One result per action. Run it again to replace that result, keeping the others. Use your local model or the endpoint you choose. Shortcuts are customisable.

The client accepts €4,820 and the proposed payment split.
Original intact. Answer ready to paste.Your next paste is already here
Hundreds of clippings, in order, with the app they came from. Paste the third-last thing with ⇧+⌘+v and two arrow keys, even when something else is on the clipboard now. The bezel stays up while you pick.
Find it in a keystroke
⇧+⌘+? searches the whole history. Every word, in any order, with a typo forgiven. Ignores case and accents, understands Arabic, Japanese and emoji, and finds what meant the same thing, with a model that ships inside Stashcut and never goes online.
Hidden, not written to disk
Detected passwords and keys stay masked in memory-only clippings, with a deadline you choose. Keep them hidden, don't keep them, or optionally save a detected text credential to 1Password. Privacy controls put you in charge.
A guard before a risky paste
About to paste something that looks like a credential, a card number or other sensitive text into a chat or browser? Stashcut asks first. You choose which apps count as risky.
A picture. And its words.
Screenshot and Text are separate layers. Read a picture full screen, search the words in it, or paste just its text. Text recognition runs on your Mac. What you see is what you paste, never picture and text together.
Send it to Obsidian
One key files the clipping, text or picture, into the daily note for the day you copied it, with its time and source. Stashcut writes local files, so your vault's own sync settings stay yours.
Seven ways to feel at home
From quiet Paper to Omarchy's Tokyo Night, with a matching code palette and key row. Set the backdrop, size and hotkeys your way.

Code looks like code
Recognisable language logos, nine syntax roles and colours tuned to your theme. Sixteen languages, from Python and TypeScript to Shell, SQL and YAML. Plain writing stays plain.
Links you can read first
The domain comes forward, the URL's parts stay readable, and Open is explicit. No preview request, favicon fetch or network lookup just because you copied a link.
Works with what you already use
Plugged into your stack. Not into a cloud.
Connect directly to your tools without creating a Stashcut account. Local models keep AI processing on your Mac; remote providers and optional integrations use the services you choose.
Ollama
Ask your clipboard with a model that never leaves the machine. Stashcut finds your running Ollama and lists its models, no setup.
Built in1Password
A copied secret can go straight into your vault instead of your history, and a stored one can be pasted from the bezel without ever showing on screen.
Built inObsidian
One key sends a clipping into the daily note for the day you copied it, under a heading of its own. Text and pictures. Your vault stays a folder of files.
Built inClaude Code
One button registers Stashcut's read-only MCP server with Claude's own CLI, shows you the exact command, and verifies it took.
Built inopencode
Same one-button setup. Your agent can search your history, fetch a clipping or see the newest ones, and never write to it.
Built inNext up

No subscription. No account. No per-question fee.
Pay once. Use it on up to three of your Macs. Ask your clipboard through a model you already run, so nothing here meters your questions.
One person makes Stashcut and answers the mail. That is who you are paying.
Ask your clipboard
The thing you copied at 09:41 is the answer. Ask for it.
⇧+⌘+a opens Ask Your Clipboard. Ask in plain language, get an answer with citations back to your clippings. Search by meaning finds the relevant history; your chosen model writes the answer.
› ask what did the client want changed on the proposal?
Three things, from the clipping you copied from Mail at 16:12:
1. move delivery to the week of the 5th [1]
2. drop the onboarding workshop [1]
3. invoice in two parts, 40 / 60 [2]

Bring your own brain
Search by meaning can run on the bundled local model. Answers and AI actions use the assistant endpoint you choose: Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp on your Mac, or a remote endpoint if you prefer. The settings tell you whether text stays local. Citations let you check the answer, not just trust it.

Credentials are excluded before the question is even assembled. The answer says how many were withheld.
For coding agents
Your agent forgot what you pasted. Stashcut did not.
Stashcut ships a tiny read-only Model Context Protocol server. Claude Code, opencode, or anything that speaks MCP can search your history, fetch one clipping, or see the newest ones. Off by default. One button to set up.
Three tools, zero writes
search get recent. That is the whole surface. An agent cannot add to your history, delete from it, or paste. It runs as a child of the agent you started, so there is no port, no token, no daemon.
Set up without touching a config file
Press Configure opencode or Configure Claude. Stashcut shows the exact command, runs that tool's own CLI, checks for a duplicate first and verifies afterwards. It never opens or rewrites your configuration file.
Credential values stay out of agent replies
1Password items are reported only as a count, without their value, reference or title. Other clippings that look like card numbers, bank accounts, keys or bulk email lists keep their position and time, but their text is replaced by a notice saying what was withheld.

Copy, carousel, search, a secret kept out, a question answered. Real screen, no cuts.
recording Tell me when it is upPrivacy, the boring kind
Your clipboard is the most private thing on your Mac. We treat it that way.
Three promises, each one checkable by looking at the app.
No account
Buy it, download it, use it. There is nothing to sign in to and nobody to sign in as.
No analytics
No telemetry, no crash reporter that phones home, no "anonymous usage data". Zero.
History stays local
History lives on your Mac. Our services handle licences, updates and downloads, not your clipboard history. Chosen remote AI and configured integrations may send data to their services.
Questions
Asked before you asked
Does it need an internet connection?
History, bundled search by meaning, local secret detection and the agent server work offline. Activation, licence renewal, updates and optional model downloads use the internet. Ask and AI actions use your chosen model endpoint, which can run on this very Mac.
Which AI does it use?
For search, a small model that ships inside Stashcut, or e5-small, an optional download that reads many languages and code. For answers, yours: Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp. Stashcut keeps no key of its own and never routes your text through a server of ours.
Where is my history stored?
In macOS preferences under com.stashcut.app and in ~/Library/Application Support/Stashcut for images, backdrops and the search index. Delete the app and the folder, and it is gone.
Is the agent server safe to turn on?
It is off until you switch it on. It is read-only and runs as a child of the agent you started. 1Password items are counted, without their values, references or titles. Detected sensitive text is withheld with a notice; its position and time may still be returned. Detection is a safeguard, not a guarantee for every possible secret.
Is Stashcut open source?
Stashcut is built on Flycut and Jumpcut, both MIT licensed, and their notices ship in the app's Credits tab. The additions that make Stashcut what it is are proprietary. You are paying for those, and for the person keeping them working.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes. One licence covers up to three Macs you personally use. Replace one and the licence moves with you.
What about iCloud sync and an iPhone app?
Not yet. Sync will arrive as an opt-in, off by default, once the plumbing meets the same standard as everything else here. An iOS companion is on the list after that.
Refunds?
Fourteen days, no questions. If Stashcut does not earn its place in your menu bar, write and get your purchase refunded.
