ClipMemo

What Is ClipMemo?

ClipMemo is a Mac-only utility designed to make everyday repetitive tasks—copy and paste, and typing the same text again and again—more comfortable. You can quickly reuse clipboard history and register and recall frequently used phrases from the menu bar and keyboard shortcuts. Focused on simple operation and lightweight performance, it sits quietly in the background and appears only when you need it.

Typical Situations and Problems It Solves

You overwrote the text you just copied

ClipMemo automatically saves your recent copies. Because the history is one shortcut away, you no longer lose earlier text just because you copied something new.

You type the same text repeatedly in email and office work

Register reply templates, address information, and email greetings as phrases, and enter them accurately without typing a single character.

You want an easy way to manage code snippets

Organize frequently used code snippets by category and insert them instantly. It is also handy for writing while referring to previously copied information.

Main Features

• Clipboard history: Recent copies are saved automatically and can be reused instantly from the menu. Items reused from the history move to the top of the list, keeping your most-used entries within easy reach.
• Phrase management: Register addresses, greetings, code snippets, and more, organized by category.
• Shortcut access: By default, Shift + Command + V opens the clipboard history and Shift + Command + C opens the phrase menu. Shortcuts can be customized in the settings, with automatic checks against conflicting or invalid key combinations.
• CSV integration: Bulk import and export large numbers of phrases.
• Menu bar residency: Always accessible from the menu bar without getting in your way.
• Localized in Japanese and English.

How to Use

• 1. On first launch, grant the macOS "Accessibility" permission.
• 2. Register your frequently used text as phrases and organize them into categories.
• 3. When you want to enter text, press the shortcut and pick an item from the history or phrase menu—it is pasted at the cursor position.

FAQ and Notes

Why is the "Accessibility" permission required?

ClipMemo detects your shortcut keys and pastes text at the cursor position on your behalf. The macOS Accessibility permission is essential for this operation—an important setting that lets the app do its job while respecting OS security.

How to get it and pricing

ClipMemo is a Mac (macOS) application and is not distributed on the App Store. You can download it for free from the download button on this app detail page. It is distributed as a ZIP archive containing a universal build that runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Background

Time spent re-copying the same text or hunting for boilerplate in a notes app adds up to a huge loss over the course of Mac work. ClipMemo was designed to extend the Mac's standard copy function and thoroughly eliminate the "double work" of input that interrupts your thinking. Unnecessary features are stripped away in favor of a workflow that finishes with a single shortcut, and improvements based on user feedback—such as customizable shortcuts—continue.
