PinchBar is an AI-powered clipboard tool for Mac. Copy anything, press ⌥V, and your menu bar surfaces smart actions — rewrite, summarize, translate, fact-check, or structure your text in seconds.

Just copy, click, paste.

  • Transform text without switching apps

  • Rewrite or summarize in one shortcut

  • Keep sensitive data private, always

Pinchbar features


Transform text without the context switch

Copy anything, hit ⌥V, and pick an action. Rewrite, summarize, translate, fact-check — PinchBar runs your text through AI and drops the result straight onto your clipboard. No browser tabs, no extra apps, no detours.


Rewrite right where you're working

Select text in any app, press a shortcut, and PinchBar replaces it in place. No window juggling, no extra paste step. This is what Inline Mode is for — your writing flow stays exactly where you left it


Your clipboard history, actually useful

Every item you copy is saved, searchable, and ready to act on — even things you copied hours ago. Pin what you need, drop the rest, and apply any AI action to any clip in your history with one click.


Privacy that doesn't make you choose

Apple Intelligence runs everything on-device by default — nothing leaves your Mac. Setapp AI is included for subscribers with no extra setup. Passwords, API keys, and tokens are detected and locked automatically.


AI prompts built around your work

Six ready-made actions ship out of the box: fix grammar, clarify, fact-check, summarize, translate, and structure. Edit the system prompt, swap the icon, create your own, and drag to reorder. It's yours to shape.
