Kopi

Open source · Free · Alpha for Mac and Windows

Your clipboard, with a memory.

Everything you copy on your Mac or PC, a keystroke away, even the words in your screenshots. Private, open source, and synced between your computers over your own network.

We're live on Product Hunt today

A clipboard that keeps up with you

Kopi runs quietly in the background and keeps everything you copy, ready to paste again.

  • Search

    Find it in a few letters.

    Type part of anything you copied, last minute or last month, and it's there. Narrow it down by kind or by the app it came from.

    • Matches highlighted as you type
    • Filters for kind and source app
    • Unlimited history, unless you set a limit
    Kopi's panel searching for “invoice”, with the word highlighted in a code snippet, an email and several notes.
  • Text in images

    Search your screenshots.

    Kopi reads the words in the screenshots and images you copy, so the booking reference, the error message or the slide from a call turns up when you search for it. It's read on your computer and never uploaded.

    • Matches highlighted in the image's text
    • Copy just the text from any image
    • Uses the text recognition built into macOS and Windows
    • Turn it off in Settings whenever you like
    Kopi's panel searching for “lisbon”. The top result is a screenshot of a flight booking, found by the words in it, and the preview shows the text Kopi read from the image with a Copy text button.
  • Snippets

    Write it once. Paste it filled in.

    Save the replies, signatures and commands you type again and again. Placeholders fill in the date, your last copy or a name as you paste.

    • Type its keyword to bring it to the top
    • Placeholders for the date, a clip or your input
    • Put the cursor where you'll type next
    Kopi's Snippets tab, previewing a reply whose name, date and tracking link fill in when it's pasted.
  • Pinboards

    Keep what you reuse close.

    Pin a clip so it never ages out, or gather clips into boards for a project, a client or a habit. Each board is one click from the search box.

    • Boards with your own names and colors
    • Pinned clips are never removed by limits
    • Drag clips onto a board
    Kopi's panel showing a pinboard called Work, with a link, an invoice note and a git command.
  • Keyboard first

    Arrows, Return, and ⌘1–9 to paste without the mouse.

  • Paste as plain text

    ⌥Return pastes the words without their formatting.

  • Every kind of copy

    Text, rich text, links, images, files, colors and code.

  • At home on both

    Native shortcuts, light and dark, on Mac and Windows.

Encrypted sync

Copy on your Mac.
Paste on your PC.

Plenty of us work across both. Kopi keeps one clipboard history, with your pinboards and snippets, across your computers on the same network, whichever operating system they run.

  • Copy on your Mac, paste on your Windows PC a moment later
  • Encrypted end to end, straight between your computers on your network, never through a server
  • Off until you turn it on, and you choose which kinds of clips sync
Kopi's Sync settings, with sync on and two paired computers: a Windows PC, connected, and a Mac mini.

Your clipboard is personal. Kopi treats it that way.

A clipboard sees passwords, addresses and half-written messages. Kopi is designed so that none of it is anyone else's business.

  • Local-first storage

    Your history lives in a database on your own computer. Kopi works fully offline and never needs an account to be useful.

  • End-to-end encrypted sync

    Sync is optional and off until you turn it on. Clips go straight between your computers on your network, encrypted with keys that never leave them, and never through a server.

  • Skips sensitive content

    Copies from password managers and content marked as concealed are ignored. You can add your own apps to the ignore list too.

  • Open source, open to audit

    Every line of Kopi is public. Anyone can read how your data is handled, and check that the claims on this page hold up.

    • Every clip knows its app
    • Free, no account
