Whispr tracks clipboard history locally without cloud syncing, data collection, or telemetry. The app operates silently in the menu bar, maintaining persistent history across app restarts and system reboots. Automatic duplicate removal prevents redundant entries from cluttering the clipboard history.
The 3-pin rule system allows users to keep three vital snippets pinned at the top of the clipboard list for instant access. Global keyboard shortcuts (default: Option + Space, customizable) provide quick activation without interrupting workflow. Smart search filters clipboard entries by content or source application name.
Privacy protection operates automatically through intelligent detection of sensitive data. Credit cards and secure form fields are masked automatically to prevent exposure. All clipboard processing occurs locally on the device with no data transmitted to external servers. The open-source codebase enables transparency and independent security auditing.
Local AI integration through Ollama provides offline text processing capabilities. One-click refinement options include grammar cleaning, summarization, rewriting, and code fixes. Private translation supports English, Turkish, German, French, and Spanish without sending data to cloud services. The app dynamically detects installed Ollama models for flexible AI functionality.
Screenshot tracking monitors Desktop and Downloads folders automatically, grouping captures by source application or folder. High-quality image thumbnails appear directly in the menu for visual reference. Tag-based organization enables custom clipboard categorization with tag-specific search functionality.
Built entirely in SwiftUI and Swift for native macOS performance. The app supports adaptive Light and Dark modes with system accent color integration. Resource usage remains minimal with ultra-lightweight, energy-efficient operation.
System requirements: macOS Sonoma or later. Ollama installation optional for AI features.
Pricing: Free download as open-source software under MIT license. Available from the developer’s website and GitHub repository.
Limitations: AI features require Ollama installation and compatible language models. Screenshot monitoring is limited to Desktop and Downloads folders by default. The 3-pin limit restricts permanent pinning to three items.
Alternatives: Users seeking cloud-synced clipboard history may consider CopyClip or Paste. For enterprise-focused clipboard management with team features, Clipboard Manager Pro offers additional capabilities.
Suitable for privacy-conscious professionals, developers, and users requiring offline AI text processing without data exposure. Best for users who prioritize local data control and open-source transparency.
