TextStow Features
A lightweight menu-bar app that turns your clipboard into a searchable history and a reusable snippet library — with built-in text tools to clean, format, and transform anything you copy.
Clipboard History
TextStow automatically records everything you copy — text, images, and files. Open the panel with a quick double-tap of the Option key and browse your recent copies in reverse-chronological order. Full-text search with filters by type, time, and source app makes finding any past copy effortless.
Content Bookmarks
Turn frequently used content — reply templates, code snippets, email signatures, config values — into permanent bookmarks. Organize them by category and tags, give each one a title and search description. Bookmarks are immune to history cleanup and stay until you delete them.
Built-in Text Processing Tools
Clean up messy PDF text, format JSON, encode Base64, URL-encode parameters, remove duplicate lines, convert case, and more. Press Command+T on any text entry to open the text processing panel — no external tools or websites needed.
Privacy-First, Local-Only
All data is stored in a local SQLite database on your Mac. No cloud sync, no account required, no network transmission. Your clipboard content — including potentially sensitive material — never leaves your machine.
