What it does
Clipboard history
Everything you copy, ready to paste again. Pin the ones you keep, search the rest.
Sticky notes
Drop colorful sticky notes on your desktop. They stay after a restart.
Read Markdown
Open any .md file in a clean reader — code blocks, tables, diagrams. Fully offline.
Out of the way
Lives in the menu bar — no Dock icon, no clutter. Only there when you call it.
Stays on your Mac
No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your data never leaves your computer.
