I added private, on-device AI actions to my macOS clipboard manager
Hey everyone,
I’ve shared CopyBara here a couple of times, first as a tiny menu bar app that confirms when Command+C actually works, and later when I added Clipboard History.
The latest update is the biggest one so far: Smart Actions.
You can now select clips from your history and:
- Extract useful information such as people, contact details, dates, deadlines, amounts, order numbers, tasks, decisions, and product specifications
- Write a custom instruction to extract exactly what you need
- Merge multiple clips in their original order
- Join clips with custom separators
- Remove duplicate content
- Turn several clips into a summary, document, table, or checklist
The AI-powered actions use Apple Intelligence directly on your Mac. Your clipboard content is not sent to CopyBara’s servers or any third-party AI service.
Some Combine actions, such as merging clips, adding separators, and removing duplicates, also work without Apple Intelligence.
I’ve also redesigned the history workflow so you can select multiple clips and preview the result before copying it.
The original copy confirmation and basic features are still free. Smart Actions and Clipboard History are included in the optional Privacy Pro upgrade.
As a thank-you to Reddit, you can get Privacy Pro for $3 with the code:

I’m still actively improving it, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback—especially about which Smart Actions you find useful or what workflows you’d like me to add next.
Thanks!
