Now on macOS · 14-day free trial

Everything you copy. None of it leaves your Mac.

RAAD remembers every clipboard item, finds it by meaning in milliseconds, and hands it to your AI tools — all on-device. No account, no cloud, no exceptions.

Free for 14 days · Requires macOS 14 or later · No account needed

RAAD’s overlay panel showing recent clipboard history — text, code, links, images, colors, and files.

History

Nothing you copy is ever lost.

Every copy is saved the moment you make it — plain text, rich text, links, colors, images, and files. An hour ago or a year ago, it is still there, and there is no cap on how much RAAD keeps.

  • Unlimited clipboard history
  • Rich text, links, and colors
  • Images and files
  • OCR — searchable text inside screenshots

Search

Find it by what it meant, not what it said.

Type what you remember, not what you copied. RAAD builds a semantic index on your Mac, so searching for “the postgres connection string” finds it even when the text itself says DATABASE_URL. Keyword and typo-tolerant search run alongside it, and you can narrow by app, date, or type.

  • On-device semantic search
  • Keyword search
  • Typo-tolerant fuzzy matching
  • Filter by app, date, and type

Reuse

Keep what you reuse one keystroke away.

Pin the snippets, links, colors, and templates you reach for all day. Snippets take variables, abbreviations expand as you type, and ⌘1 through ⌘9 paste your top pins without opening anything at all.

  • Pinboards and favorites
  • Snippets with variables
  • Abbreviation expansion
  • Quick Paste — ⌘1 to ⌘9

Paste

Paste it back exactly as you need it.

Rich text where you want it, plain text where you do not — strip formatting on the way out without a detour through a text editor. Transform as you paste: change case, trim whitespace, encode a URL. Or queue several items into a paste stack and drop them in sequence without reopening the panel.

Paste as plain text
Formatting stripped on the way out, on demand.
Text transforms
Case, trim, encode, and similar one-click edits.
Paste stack
Queue several items, paste them in order.
Popup at your cursor
The panel opens where you are already looking.

AI and developers

Your clipboard, as context — without shipping it anywhere.

RAAD runs an MCP server on your Mac, so Claude, Cursor, Codex, and anything else that speaks MCP can search what you have already copied and use it as context. Write access is opt-in, and every write lands in an audit trail you can actually read.

Terminal
$ raad search "connection string" --limit 3  postgres://localhost:5432/raad_dev  DATABASE_URL=postgres://…  · copied 3d ago  redis://127.0.0.1:6379       · copied 1w ago$ raad mcp status  listening · 4 clients · write access: off
MCP server
Exposes your history to any MCP client, locally.
Write access with an audit trail
Opt-in, and every write is logged.
Instant text transforms
Case, encoding, and formatting changes, one click.
CLI and Apple Shortcuts
Script it, pipe it, automate it.

Privacy

Private because it never leaves.

Not “private by design” with an asterisk pointing at our servers. There are no servers in the loop. Your history lives in an encrypted store on your Mac, every feature works with the network off, and there is no account to create in the first place.

Works fully offline
Every feature, search and AI actions included, runs with the network off.
No account required
Nothing to sign up for. A license key is the only credential.
Secret redaction before disk
API keys and tokens are detected and stripped before they touch storage.
Password manager exclusion
Copies from password managers are ignored automatically.
Concealed pasteboard support
Anything an app marks transient or concealed is never recorded.
Screen-share exclusion
The overlay hides itself from recordings and shared screens.
Biometric-sealed collections
Lock a pinboard behind Touch ID.
Encrypted local backup
Backups are encrypted at rest, on your machine.

Built for how you work.

Developers

Copy one snippet, then the next, without losing the first. Search by meaning when you cannot remember the variable name.

Designers

Colors, icons, and links stay a keystroke away, and screenshots are searchable by the text inside them.

Writers

Never lose a paragraph you forgot to paste back. Strip formatting on the way into the draft.

Researchers

Quotes, citations, and links accumulate all day and stay findable months later.

Comparison

Checked line by line, including where we lose.
