Maccy handles history. TextStow handles knowledge.
Maccy is excellent at fast clipboard history recall. But when copied content needs to be saved, categorized, and reused long-term — code snippets, API keys, support templates — Maccy has no answer. TextStow adds the permanent content layer Maccy is missing.
Bookmarks with categories: organize, do not just scroll.
Save important clips as permanent bookmarks. Organize them into categories and tags. Search across both history and bookmarks. Your clipboard becomes a structured library, not a chronological pile.
Text tools attached to your clipboard.
Format JSON, decode Base64, repair PDF text, clean spacing — all from the clipboard workflow. No browser tabs, no web utilities, no pasting sensitive data into random websites.
Same local-first, same speed, more power.
TextStow maintains millisecond recall speed and minimal resource usage. Like Maccy, everything stays local on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no data leaving your machine.
