Quip turns your basic clipboard into a persistent, searchable database that keeps up with your workflow. It captures every link, file, and snippet you copy across your Mac and iOS devices so you never lose what you copied, even after pressing Command + C again. Beyond history, Quip lets you extract text from videos and automate repetitive typing with custom shortcuts. The app doesn’t just store your data — it cleans and categorizes it with local on-device AI and Apple Intelligence.

Quip features
Maintain a persistent clipboard history
macOS can only hold one copied item at a time, which creates a constant bottleneck for power users. Quip captures everything you copy and syncs across devices — whether it’s code, images, or links — and stores it in a persistent, searchable database. Even if you copied it days ago, you can find and reuse it instantly.
Automate repetitive typing with shortcuts
Turn your most-used text into “Super Shortcuts.” Assign a short trigger to any item in your history to instantly expand full email templates, canned replies, or complex URLs in any app. This built-in text expander scales with your clipboard, eliminating hours of manual typing from your weekly routine.
Extract text from any visual element
Sometimes information is trapped in a video, a locked PDF, or a presentation slide where text isn’t selectable. Quip’s “Grab Text” tool (Command + ⇧ + 2) uses high-accuracy OCR to extract text from anywhere on your screen. This turns visual data into editable text instantly, making it easy to pull a promo code from a screenshot, a quote from a YouTube video, or text from a locked PDF without retyping them.
Clean your history with AI
No more messy clipboard history. Quip Intelligence automatically strips tracking junk from URLs, normalizes code formatting, and cleans up messy whitespace. It also uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models to summarize long text and suggest the right collections — without your data ever leaving your device.

App version: 1.5
I am going to uninstall for now. It doesn’t respect not copying passwords from 1Password despite having it in the list and there’s other buggy behavior with the way it reacts to and pastes. Most other clipboard managers will move a selection back to the clipboard when you select it in the app. This does not and the placement of the text from the memory of the app to where you had your cursor seems to be hit and miss for me. There also seems to be a keystroke setting that automatically puts the last thing you got from the app if you hit Shift/Return to move down a line in a box like this. Just too many glitchy things right now. I do hope it gets better, because I like where the functionality is headed, but it just seems too buggy for now.
