Yank
A clipboard that understands intent, not just bytes.
Yank transforms your clipboard into a powerful memory assistant, designed to help you quickly retrieve practically anything you've copied. Key features include:
* Natural language search for clips
* Automatic classification of copied content
* Local-first operation for privacy
* Source-aware clip history
* Support for diverse content types: text, code, images, colors, links
This robust clipboard manager redefines how you interact with your copied items. Instead of just a simple list, Yank understands the nature of each clip, whether it's a phone number, a date, a URL, a GitHub repository, a hex color, or even a piece of code. This enables you to search and filter by type without needing to manually categorize anything. You can ask for "the phone number from earlier" or "that hex value from Figma," and Yank will retrieve the exact clip you need.
Built with privacy in mind, Yank operates entirely on your device. All content classification happens locally, ensuring your clipboard history never leaves your machine unless you explicitly enable cloud synchronization. It also remembers the source application, window title, or URL for each clip, allowing for precise searches like "from Figma" or "from Slack." The single keyboard shortcut for opening the picker means you can navigate, search, and paste without ever leaving your current application, making your workflow significantly smoother.
Yank is ideal for developers, designers, writers, and anyone who frequently copies and pastes diverse types of information across different applications. It simplifies digital information management, helping you stay organized and efficient across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
