Klipto is a native macOS clipboard manager that lives in the menu bar and stores your clipboard history entirely on-device. ($19.99 one-time for Pro; free tier available)
The core feature is stack paste, accessed via ⌥⌘V. Users copy multiple items in sequence, then Klipto pastes them one at a time in order, advancing automatically — useful for filling out multi-field forms or moving structured data between applications without switching windows repeatedly. Clipboard history is browsable from the menu bar, with content-type detection distinguishing text, code, HTML, JSON, and color values.
Content transformations let users modify clipboard contents before pasting: JSON prettification, HEX to RGB color conversion, and text case changes are built in. The OCR feature extracts text from screenshots or images copied to the clipboard, enabling copy-paste from non-selectable content. Frequently used snippets can be saved to favorites and organized into folders for reuse.
System requirements: macOS version not specified on the website; check https://klipto.me for the current minimum. No permissions beyond Accessibility access are required for paste functionality.
Pricing: Free tier available for basic clipboard history. Pro is $19.99 as a one-time purchase, with a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Limitations: The free tier’s history depth and feature set are not fully documented on the website; the exact cutoff between free and Pro features requires testing the trial. No iOS companion app for accessing clipboard history on iPhone or iPad.
Alternatives: Pasta (subscription-based clipboard manager with iCloud sync), Raycast (launcher with built-in clipboard history as part of a broader toolset), Maccy (open-source, minimal clipboard history).
Suitable for users who perform repetitive data entry or form-filling workflows and want clipboard history that stays entirely local with no cloud accounts required.
