Key features
☕ Unlimited clipboard history
ClipBrew automatically captures everything you copy — text, images, and files — without ever stopping. Go back hours, days, or weeks and pull any snippet to the top of your clipboard with a single click.
🔍 Lightning-fast smart search
Searching is just typing. ClipBrew filters your full history as you press each key, so the snippet you copied yesterday surfaces in milliseconds — no scrolling, no scanning, no menus.
🎯 Filter by type with one tap
Text, Links, Code, Images, Files — each gets its own chip with a live count. Looking for a screenshot from this morning? Tap Image. Need that pull request URL? Tap Link. Your history, instantly sliced the way you think about it.
🧑💻 Code-aware snippets
ClipBrew recognizes code on copy and renders it with syntax highlighting in 20+ languages — JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, SQL, JSON, shell, and more. Snippets keep their monospace shape and pick up a language badge, so reviewing past code feels like reading it in your editor.
🔗 Links open with one click
Copy a URL and ClipBrew picks it up immediately — highlighted, underlined, ready to go. Click the row to open in your browser, or grab the copy button to put it back on your clipboard. Cleaner than digging through tab history.
📌 Pin your favorites
Keep email signatures, deploy commands, addresses, and template responses pinned to the top. One click promotes any clip; pinned items stay through "clear history" sweeps and never get pushed off the bottom.
🔒 Private by design
Your clipboard data never leaves your Mac — no cloud sync, no analytics, no third-party servers. Apple Passwords, 1Password, Bitwarden and other password managers are automatically excluded, so credentials never land in your history.
⚡ Always there, never in the way
ClipBrew lives quietly in the dock — close the window and it keeps watching; click the icon to bring it back. Native universal binary, signed and notarized by Apple, runs the same on Intel and Apple Silicon.
