Search text and images, pin useful clips, add notes, and rewrite only when you ask.
CopyFix keeps your clipboard workspace local by default. Local AI runs on your Mac after the model is downloaded, and Pro BYOK requests go straight from the app to your selected provider without a CopyFix prompt proxy.
Free to use. One-time Pro unlock. No subscriptions. macOS 14.6+.
A full-featured clipboard manager first. AI rewrites only when you ask for them, and CopyFix returns the result to the app you were using.
Manage your clipboard, keep context with notes, and refine text with local AI or direct BYOK providers in a single fast Mac app.
Text and image clips are captured automatically. Free users can keep up to 1,000 items, and Pro raises the limit to 10,000. Older unpinned items are trimmed first.
Pin the clips you care about and attach personal notes directly to them, so useful snippets and context stay together.
CopyFix runs Apple Vision OCR and image classification on-device for screenshots and copied pictures, so you can find them later by typing words you remember seeing.
A configurable global hotkey opens CopyFix as a utility panel. Grab the current selection when macOS Accessibility can read it, edit or add notes, then paste back in place.
Need a quick rewrite, translation, or summary? CopyFix can use a local Apple MLX model. Once downloaded, local prompts and selected clips stay on your Mac.
Prefer a provider model? Pro unlocks bring-your-own-key support for OpenAI-compatible APIs, Claude, and Gemini. Requests go directly from the app to the provider, not through CopyFix middleware.
Three steps from a fresh selection to a pasted result.
Use ⌘C as you normally would, or trigger CopyFix's global hotkey to grab the current selection from apps where macOS Accessibility can read it. Text and images both work.
Pin important clips and attach your own notes. Need to refine text? Ask the selected AI provider to "make it formal" or "summarise this".
CopyFix returns focus to the app you were in and pastes the clip — original or rewritten — straight in place. The history is always there if you want to go back.
Your clipboard is some of the most sensitive data on your Mac. CopyFix keeps clipboard history, OCR metadata, prompt history, and local AI processing on-device by default.
Clipboard history, image OCR, prompt history, and notes are local. Nothing is uploaded anywhere unless you explicitly choose a BYOK provider request.
When you ask for a rewrite with the local provider, CopyFix runs an Apple MLX model on your Mac. After the model is downloaded, prompts are processed on-device.
API keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, not plain-text preferences. BYOK requests are sent directly from CopyFix to your selected provider, without a CopyFix proxy or middleware.
CopyFix is explicit about what stays local, what can leave your Mac, and which payment systems are used for Pro.
CopyFix backend handles pricing, Pro payments, redeem codes, and payment audit logs. BYOK prompt payloads do not pass through CopyFix servers.
When you use a BYOK provider, the app discloses that the prompt and selected clipboard context will be sent to that provider.
Provider keys are stored in macOS Keychain. Downloaded local models can be removed from settings, and local model memory can unload after an idle timeout.
CopyFix includes controls for clipboard history limits, clearing local history, resetting settings, deleting local models, and preparing app state for uninstall.
A few of the ways CopyFix users put it to work.
Jump between drafts, quotes, and references without losing what you copied an hour ago — and tighten a paragraph with an optional AI rewrite when you want one.
Keep snippets, error messages, and screenshots one search away. Reformat JSON or pull text out of an image with OCR — and call on an AI model only when it actually helps.
Pin your canned responses, search past replies instantly, and paste them back into your help desk. Optional AI smoothing is there for the trickier messages.
Collect every snippet, citation, and figure from a long session in one searchable place. Format or summarise with AI on demand — never automatically.
CopyFix is a private clipboard workspace for macOS. It captures text and images, lets you attach personal notes, and can rewrite or summarise text with local AI or direct BYOK providers. It pastes results back into the app you were using.
No. The clipboard manager, image search, pinning, notes, and paste-anywhere hotkey all work without ever touching an AI model. The AI integration is strictly opt-in — it only runs when you type a prompt and ask for a transformation.
Yes. The clipboard manager and image OCR are local. Local AI models run on Apple Silicon using Apple's MLX framework and process prompts on-device once downloaded. BYOK providers are optional and only used when you explicitly select one.
If you choose to use AI, CopyFix can run a local model on-device via Apple's MLX framework. Pro users can also bring their own OpenAI-compatible, Claude, or Gemini key; those requests are sent directly from the app to the provider, without CopyFix proxying them.
Locally, in a SwiftData store under your Mac's Application Support directory. Full-resolution clipboard images are saved as PNG files on disk; only thumbnails are kept in memory. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly run a BYOK provider request.
Free users can keep up to 1,000 items. Pro unlocks up to 10,000 items. Older non-pinned items are trimmed automatically; pinned items are kept regardless of the limit.
Yes. CopyFix runs on-device OCR and image classification on every captured image, so you can find old screenshots or copied pictures by typing words that appear in them.
CopyFix targets macOS 14.6 or later. The clipboard manager itself runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs; the optional on-device AI integration requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer). Accessibility permission is required so CopyFix can read selections and paste results into other apps.
CopyFix is free to use. A one-time Pro payment unlocks advanced features forever, including the 10,000-item history limit and BYOK support for OpenAI-compatible APIs, Claude, and Gemini. There are no subscriptions.
CopyFix is distributed directly from copyfix.app and updates itself via Sparkle. It is not currently available on the Mac App Store.
