How Can We Help?

Click the clipboard icon in your menu bar to open the Recopy panel. You can also press Option+V from any app to instantly access your clipboard history.

Recopy uses Accessibility permission to simulate Cmd+V paste into the frontmost app when you select an item from your history. Without it, items are copied to your clipboard but won't auto-paste. Grant it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.

Recopy captures plain text, rich text, HTML, URLs, images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, WebP, HEIC), PDFs, file references, code snippets, colors, and spreadsheet data (CSV/TSV). Video files are intentionally excluded to keep your history lightweight.

All data is stored locally on your Mac at ~/Library/Application Support/Recopy/. Nothing ever leaves your device — no cloud, no analytics, no tracking.

You can delete individual items by selecting them and pressing the delete key. To clear all history, remove the folder at ~/Library/Application Support/Recopy/ and relaunch the app.

Yes. Open Recopy, go to Settings > Shortcut tab, and click the shortcut recorder to set your preferred key combination.

Storage depends on your usage. The Free plan is capped at 200 items. Pro and Max remove that limit (up to 50,000 items) and can retain 365 days of history. Images and PDFs use more space than text. You can adjust retention and limits in Settings.

Yes, on Max. Recopy syncs directly between your Macs over your local network, end-to-end encrypted — no cloud and no account. It’s off by default and disabled in Airgap mode, and Free and Pro stay single-device.

First, make sure Recopy is running (look for the clipboard icon in your menu bar). Then check that Accessibility permission is granted in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. Verify the content type is enabled in Settings. If the issue persists, restart the app and check the debug log at /tmp/recopy-debug.log.

Yes — Recopy is free to download. The Free plan (all on-device) includes 200 clipboard items, full keyword search, OCR screenshot search, secret redaction, pins, statistics, and all 10 content types. Pro ($4.99, one-time) adds unlimited history, app & pattern exclusion, and auto-expiring clips. Max ($19.99, one-time) adds on-device AI (Smart semantic search, AI actions, auto-summary), Secure-Enclave encryption with Touch ID lock, and encrypted LAN sync between your Macs. A 14-day trial unlocks every Max feature.

Recopy’s AI runs entirely on-device through Apple Intelligence — nothing is ever uploaded. It can summarize long clips, rewrite text (Professional, Casual, or Concise), translate, explain code, and extract structured data, and it powers Smart semantic search across your history. AI is part of Max and requires macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence on Apple Silicon; without them, Recopy gracefully falls back to its standard features.

Free ($0) covers everyday clipboard management — 200 items, keyword search, OCR screenshot search, secret redaction, pins, statistics, and all 10 content types, all on-device. Pro ($4.99, one-time) adds unlimited history, app & pattern exclusion, and auto-expiring clips. Max ($19.99, one-time) adds on-device AI (Smart semantic search, AI actions, auto-summary), Secure-Enclave encryption with Touch ID lock, and encrypted LAN sync between your Macs. A 14-day trial unlocks every Max feature.

Secrets like API keys and passwords are automatically detected and redacted for everyone, Free included. On Max, sensitive clips can be encrypted with Secure-Enclave AES-256-GCM (Touch ID to reveal) and the whole app can be locked behind Touch ID. To be clear, this protects sensitive clips and fields — it is not full-database encryption.
