Local-first clipboard history for macOS and AI tools.

Clipth is an open-source macOS clipboard manager with offline semantic search and a built-in Model Context Protocol server. It lets you search clipboard history locally, organize useful clips, and optionally let AI clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor query your clipboard. Cloud sync is off by default and only connects to a destination you configure.

The name comes from "clip path": a trail of things you copied.

Edition Boundary

This repository is the open-source base edition of Clipth. It contains the core clipboard, search, organization, privacy, sync, and MCP functionality released under the license in this repository.

Clipth Pro is a separate commercial edition. Pro-only features, commercial services, payment and licensing logic, and other proprietary implementation are intentionally not part of this repository and are not included in the open-source release. Do not assume that code or behavior from the Pro edition is available here.

Why Clipth?

Local-first by default - clipboard history, OCR text, tags, and embeddings stay on your Mac unless you explicitly enable encrypted sync.
Conflict-resilient encrypted sync - optionally sync through iCloud Drive, WebDAV, S3-compatible storage, or a local folder without exposing clipboard plaintext.
Offline semantic search - Apple NLEmbedding powers meaning-based search without hosted embedding APIs.
AI-native workflow - the app binary can run as an MCP stdio server with searchable and writable clipboard tools.
Native macOS utility - menu bar app, global hotkeys, Quick Paste, previews, snippets, and SwiftUI interface.
Content protection - sensitive values such as phone numbers and API keys are redacted across the UI, exports, and MCP by default, while the original stays on your Mac for reuse.
Privacy controls - pause capture, exclude source apps, ignore sensitive pasteboard markers, strip URL trackers, disable MCP tools, and delete history.

Highlight: Encrypted Sync That Merges, Not Overwrites

Clipth does not replace one Mac's entire database with another. It sends encrypted incremental operations, merges each field independently, and keeps a recoverable copy when two devices change non-mergeable content.

Choose automatic sync or keep it manual. The main window always exposes a compact sync state: one-click sync when automation is off, an immediate in-progress indicator, and explicit success or failure feedback when the run finishes.

What happens	How Clipth protects it
Two Macs edit different fields	Hybrid logical clocks and field versions preserve both changes
Both devices write at once	Immutable encrypted journals survive the snapshot race
Tags or group membership change independently	Convergent set merging combines additions and preserves removals
A device returns with stale data	Acknowledged tombstones prevent deleted clips from silently reappearing
