ClipStage • For macOS 14+ (Cmd+Shift+V Popup · Apple Vision OCR · Clean Paste · Secret Shield) • Free Forever (Ad-Supported) Meet ClipStage.
Instant Cmd+Shift+V Clipboard Studio, Vision OCR & AI/Terminal Clean Paste.
ClipStage is a native 25 MB SwiftUI clipboard history and staging manager built for developers, writers, and studio engineers. Summon a non-activating popup with Cmd+Shift+V (or Cmd+Shift+C), automatically run Apple Vision OCR and Jev image triage on every screenshot, unwrap hard-wrapped 72-column terminal text, scrub watermarks, and queue multi-step pastes.
Designed for Real Classrooms, Tracking Rooms, and Production Workstations
Summon ClipStage over any full-screen app or terminal with Cmd+Shift+V or Cmd+Shift+C, filter instantly, and press Return or Cmd+1..9 to paste.
Automatically extracts text from copied images and Ambient F6 screenshots via on-device Apple Vision OCR and exposes a fast CLI (clipstage latest, clipstage screen).
Press Ctrl+Cmd+V to strip invisible Unicode watermarks, unwrap terminal hard-wraps, and automatically detect API keys or tokens before you paste.
