PURE / LAB Test build · not notarized · v0.8.0 (build 9)

Pure Clipboard

Pure Clipboard is a native macOS app with two parts. Pure Clipboard copies answers from AI tools and from Terminal, and can optionally keep a clipboard history on your Mac only. The Pure Remote tab receives and sends data with an Android phone: text through Termux, files through adb, in parts and checked with SHA-256. No account, no cloud and no analytics. A transfer to or from the phone starts only on your command.

Release candidate. Test build. The app is signed ad-hoc only and is not notarized by Apple, so macOS will block it on first launch. Verify the SHA-256 and follow the installation guide before opening it.

SHA-256: 377a350d130e1dbc0b505c5e4ef3dbb63be890ae60aef4640e205d4e42b15a57

Pure Clipboard in action

Your clipboard, history and phone in one window. Every screen is a real capture of the app, filled with sample data.

Pure Clipboard screen with copy settings — **Copy on your command** Answers from AI tools and Terminal land exactly where you need them. Nothing is copied without your decision.

History tab with clipboard history switched off — **History off by default** Your clipboard is not tracked until you switch history on. Your Mac, your rules.

History tab with a list of clipboard items — **History that stays on your Mac** Search, restore and delete. History is stored locally only, with limits you set.

Pure Remote tab with file transfers to the phone — **Pure Remote: your phone in one window** Send files to your Android phone in chunks, verified with SHA-256 and pausable at any time. Mobile data only with your confirmation.

One shortcut, your whole history

Press ⌥⌘V and pick what you need. Enter copies the item to your clipboard. Nothing is pasted automatically.

Quick clipboard history opened with ⌥⌘V — Quick history straight from the keyboard. Available once history is switched on.

What you need

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Intel Macs are not supported.
macOS 14 or later. The app has so far been verified only on macOS 27.
Optional, for automatic copying: Claude Code and/or the Codex CLI. In Codex the hook must be approved with Type in Codex:/hooks.
Optional, for Pure Remote: Tailscale installed and signed in, with the Paste into Terminal:tailscale command available.
Optional, for file transfer to an Android phone: adb (Android platform-tools) and a phone with USB or Wi‑Fi debugging enabled.
Optional, for text transfer with a phone: Termux, Termux:API, the openssh package and Tailscale.
Without these optional parts the app still works: manual copying, clipboard history (off by default) and the sensitive-data check.
