TextStow

Clipboard History for Mac

macOS only remembers the last thing you copied. TextStow automatically records every copy — text, images, and files — so you can search, find, and reuse old content from your menu bar.

macOS Only Keeps the Last Copy

Every time you copy something new on a Mac, the old clipboard content is gone. There is no built-in history, no search, and no way to recover overwritten content. For people who switch between documents, tabs, and apps all day, this means losing useful material constantly.

TextStow Records Everything Automatically

Just copy as you normally would. TextStow runs in the menu bar and silently saves every text snippet, image, and file you copy. No extra steps, no keyboard shortcuts to remember — it works the moment you install it.

Full-Text Search Across Your History

Need something you copied last week? Type a few remembered words into TextStow and filter by type (text, image, file), time range, or source app. Finding old copied content takes seconds instead of digging through browser tabs and chat messages.

Privacy-First, Local-Only Storage

All clipboard data stays on your Mac. TextStow does not upload anything to the cloud, does not require an account, and works completely offline. Your copied content — including potentially sensitive material — never leaves your machine.
