Make yourself at home.

  1. Download and open the Clippy disk image (.dmg).
  2. Quit Clippy if it is already running.
  3. Drag Clippy into your Applications folder and choose Replace if prompted, then eject the disk image.
  4. Open Clippy from Applications and confirm the macOS prompt to open the downloaded app.
  5. Follow Clippy’s setup if shown, and allow clipboard access if macOS asks.
  6. Copy something, then press Command–Shift–V to open your history.

A few things to know

You’ll need macOS 15 or later. Clippy’s universal build includes Apple silicon and Intel binaries.

The direct-download edition does not install updates automatically. Choose Check for Updates in Clippy’s menu or Settings, or enable automatic checks in Settings. You choose when to download and install each update.

Using version 1.0, or unable to open an older version on macOS 15? Install this download once by following the steps above. Version 1.0.1 users can also choose Check for Updates. Your history and settings from the official direct-download edition stay in place; do not use Reset App Data.

If you used an earlier local development build, its clipboard history is kept separately and is not migrated automatically. Keep that build if you still need those saved clips.
