x released this
2026-10-13 22:14:37 +00:00 | 135 commits to main since this releaseThe first public release: free, for macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon and Intel, signed and
notarized.What's in it
- Selection popup. Select text in any app and a small bar offers Copy, Paste, Save as Snippet,
Clipboard History, Open Link, Search and your plugins. It works in terminals that copy on select
(Claude Code, tmux) and in apps that hide their selection. Show it every time, only with ⌥ held, or
from ⌃⌥A. Double-click an empty field for Paste, Snippets and Dictate. - Clipboard history (⇧⌘V). Search, filters, pins, paste as plain text. Password managers and
concealed items are never recorded; history is kept by count and age. - Snippets (⌃⌥V). Keywords that expand as you type (
;sig), templates ({clipboard},
{date offset=+1d},{input name="Name"},{cursor},{snippet keyword=";sig"}), a fill-in form
only when a field is empty, and revisions. AI suggests a title, category, keyword and fields
(Apple's on-device model by default, or your own key) without rewriting your words. Import from
Alfred or Raycast, and move every keyword to a new prefix in one step. - Plugins. One Markdown file each. Twelve official plugins come bundled and switched off:
Translate, Rewrite, Summarize, Fix Grammar, Explain, Search the Web, UPPERCASE, lowercase,
Title Case, Format JSON, Word Count and URL-encode. - Dictation. On-device Apple speech in any text field or terminal (⌃⌥D). Switch language with
Tab, or listen for two languages at once. - For agents. Every setting in one JSON file with a JSON Schema; the
easnippetCLI with--json
on every command and stable error codes; an MCP server for Codex and Claude Code that sees
clipboard history or changes settings only when you allow it. - Privacy & Data. See what's stored and remove any part of it; deleted text is wiped from the
database file too.

Known limits
- Two languages mixed inside one sentence aren't reliable yet; whole sentences in either are.
- Local AI servers (llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio) are supported but haven't been tried against a live
server. - The app is universal but hasn't been tried on an Intel Mac; Apple's on-device AI needs Apple silicon.
- English only for now.
