Copyosity v1.0.0

macOS clipboard · on-device intelligence

Everything you copy, one keystroke away.

Copyosity keeps a searchable history of everything you copy, reads text out of copied images on-device, turns your voice into ready-to-paste text, and exposes a command palette — all from a floating panel you summon with a hotkey. It lives in the menu bar and stays out of your way until you need it.

A clipboard that actually reads what you copy

Four things you reach for every day — history, a command palette, your voice, and two-click snippets — each one native, fast, and a keystroke away.

Clipboard history

Search everything, including text inside images

Every copy is captured to a local SQLite database with pinning, custom collections, and full-text search. Copied screenshots run through Apple's Vision framework on-device, so the words inside them become searchable too.

  • History / Starred tabs and colored collection pills
  • Tag bar with PNG / GIF / JPG format chips and AI tags
  • Infinite scroll with contextual empty states

Command · agent palette

Web search and a research agent, in place

Summon a draggable, resizable palette with Agent and Web modes, session history, streaming progress, and markdown answers. Insert, copy, or close — then get back to what you were doing. Powered by NeuralDeep Hub when enabled.

  • Streaming agent progress with minimize-to-dot
  • Voice input and Insert / Copy / Close actions
  • Create Notes & Reminders, read Calendar via Apple Events

Voice to text

Hold a key, speak, paste clean text

Hold a global hotkey to record from any microphone. The transcription is cleaned into natural, typed-style text — punctuation, filler removed, lists formatted — and adapted to the app you're pasting into. Off by default until you switch it on.

  • Context-aware polishing tuned to the target app
  • Delivered to the clipboard with retries so it always lands
  • A live spinner shows transcription in progress

Quick menu & snippets

Two clicks to paste, no overlay

A native Clipy-style pop-up appears at your cursor on ⌘⇧C: recent history under number keys 1–9, up to 100 entries in submenus, and your saved snippets grouped by folder. Pick one and it pastes into whatever app was frontmost.

  • Reusable templates — email, address, prompts — in folders
  • Configurable global hotkey; inline folder rename
  • Edit snippets right from Settings → Quick Menu

And the details that keep it out of your way

On-device OCR

Text inside screenshots and photos is extracted with Apple's Vision framework. No image ever leaves your Mac for OCR.

Image clipboard

PNG, JPG, and animated GIF from the pasteboard or Finder, with format badges, dimensions, and file size on every card.

Automatic tagging

Entries get short, practical labels via NeuralDeep Hub or local Ollama — with a manual Retag whenever you want.

Local AI option

Optional Ollama integration for fully local tagging, with in-app onboarding: install, start server, download model, test.

Privacy built in

Concealed clipboard content is ignored, app exclusions hide sensitive sources, and Copyosity's own copy/paste never pollutes history.

Native menu-bar UI

A transparent, non-activating NSPanel that appears over your current app without stealing focus, plus a tray icon and global shortcuts.

On-device by default

OCR runs through Apple Vision locally. Tagging and voice can stay fully local via Ollama — nothing leaves your Mac unless you turn a hub feature on.

Signed & notarized

Every build is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized + stapled by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it cleanly — even offline.

Auto-updates

Copyosity checks GitHub Releases on launch, downloads signed updates in the background, and notifies you when a new version is ready.

Built native

Tauri 2, Svelte 5, Rust, and SQLite. Small, fast, and quiet — it runs in the menu bar and waits for its hotkey.

Get Copyosity

Download the DMG for your Mac, drag Copyosity into Applications, open it from there, and press ⌘⇧V. After that it keeps itself up to date automatically.
