Quip

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.

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.

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.

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.
