tap a keyword —
copy

Everything you copy, kept and understood.

TypeDock captures every copy and knows what it is — code, color, link, file, image, or prose — with a real preview and one smart action each. Try the search: it matches by meaning, not just letters.

Paste As — one conservative suggestion per paste, based on where you're pasting.

Full fidelity
Every representation is kept — rich text pastes rich, plain pastes plain, images stay images.
Pins & Pinboards
Pinned clips never expire. Pinboards collect them — one clip can live on several.
Tidy on paste
Invisible characters stripped, soft-wrapped prose reflowed. Code is never touched.
Concealed stays concealed
Anything a password manager marks concealed is never stored. Not encrypted — absent.
type

Type a keyword. Get the whole thing.

Snippets expand anywhere on your Mac — with forms for the blanks, variables for the boring parts, and an undo if you change your mind. Fill the form below and hit Insert.

Hi Sarah, let's meet on Friday at 9:00 via Zoom. Talk soon!

the placeholder language

{date}{time}{clipboard}{selection}{counter}{select|a,b,c}{snippet}{@var|email}{@ai|…}
Suggestions at your caret
Pause mid-keyword and a menu appears where you're typing — fuzzy-ranked, ⌘1–9 to pick, peek to preview.
One keystroke of regret, covered
⌘Z within two seconds un-expands and hands your keyword back, exactly as typed.
The cheat sheet
⌘⌥Space flashes every keyword you own over whatever app you're in. (It works on this page, too.)
Repetition radar
Type the same phrase five times and TypeDock quietly offers to save it. The tally never leaves memory.
Works where pasting is hard
Paced injection that survives Electron and Catalyst apps — and multi-line snippets never auto-send in chat apps.
Your profile fills itself
Name, email, company — profile variables resolve without a prompt, on every device.

system-wide expansion uses macOS Accessibility & Input Monitoring — granted once, with guided onboarding in the app

dock

Everything, one keystroke away.

Press ⌃⌘V in any app and the Quick Paste dock rises over it — flush to the screen edge, without stealing your caret. This one is real: click a card to paste it into the note. Flip on Stack mode to queue a few, then ⌘V them out in order.

any app · your caret never moves
Notes — Untitledwaiting for a paste…

non-activating — your caret never moves · ⌘1–9 pastes directly · also in the menu bar, one click away

ai

An assistant that already has the context.

Your clipboard knows what you were doing. TypeDock lets you ask it — powered by Apple Intelligence, answered on your device, with the source clips cited. Watch it work.

Ask Your Clipboardon-device · Apple Intelligence
nothing leaves this device
Describe a snippeton-device · Apple Intelligence
nothing leaves this device
Describe a snippet, get a draft
“A polite meeting decline with a reason field” — and a validated snippet appears, keyword and fill-ins included, for your review before saving.
AI inside expansions
An {@ai} placeholder writes its part while the rest of the snippet stays deterministic — with a plain-text fallback when the model isn't available.
Search by meaning
“that swift function” finds the code you copied — embeddings are computed and cached on your device.
Clips graduate on their own
Promote a clip to a snippet and the title and keyword are drafted for you.

Every AI feature runs entirely on-device — zero cloud calls, ever. Requires Apple Intelligence-capable hardware; everything else works without it.

{@ai|summarize|input=clipboard}the placeholder that writes

ios

One library, native on every device.

The same snippets and clips, at home on Mac, iPhone, and iPad — designed for each, not ported to each. Real screenshots, in your theme.

macOS — three columns, editor and live preview side by side
iPhone — author with fill-ins
iPad — three columns, keyboard & drag
iPhone — Snippets
iPad — Clipboard
iPhone — Clipboard
The TypeDock keyboard
Snippets and clips inside any app's keyboard, rendered by the real engine — fill-in forms included. It never asks for Full Access.
The share sheet
Share text, a link, or an image from any app and it lands as a clip — or a ready-to-edit snippet.
iPad, properly
Three columns, hardware-keyboard shortcuts, pointer support, and drag & drop into any app beside it.
Pull to import
iOS keeps the pasteboard private, so TypeDock never sniffs it — a tug on the clip list imports it when you say so.
private

Private by architecture, not by promise.

A clipboard manager sees everything you copy. That's exactly why TypeDock is built so there's nothing to trust — only things that can't happen. It's not a policy. It's a switch you can see.

TypeDock's Settings on macOS — the sidebar lists Permissions and iCloud panes, and the Backup section exports your whole library as one JSON file
iPhone — sandboxed keyboard
the actual Settings — your whole library exports as one JSON file you own

Concealed clips are never stored

Copies from password managers are marked concealed — TypeDock refuses to keep them. Not encrypted. Absent. What isn't stored can't sync, leak, or be subpoenaed.

AI never phones home

Ask Your Clipboard, Describe-to-Snippet, semantic search — all of it runs on the Apple Neural Engine in your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Zero cloud calls.

Sync is yours, and off by default

Your library is local-first. Flip one switch and it syncs through your private iCloud — CloudKit, end to end, no TypeDock servers anywhere.

The keyboard can't spy

The iOS keyboard never requests Full Access, so it couldn't send a keystroke anywhere even if it wanted to.

Even the stats stay home

Keystrokes saved, expansions fired — counted on-device, for your eyes, never transmitted.

cli

Your snippets, scriptable.

The whole library from the terminal — and an installable skill that hands the keys to your AI agent. No other snippet or clipboard tool ships this.

typedock — zsh

Full parity, by contract
Every app capability has a command — snippets, clips, groups, tags, pinboards, sync, stats, even the panels.
Built for scripts
--json on everything with a stable envelope. Deterministic expansion with --now, --seed, and --fill.
Safety rails on
Destructive commands require --yes. --dry-run shows the plan before anything changes.
Your agent already knows it
typedock skills install teaches Claude and friends to drive TypeDock — with the privacy rules baked in.

faq

Questions & answers.

The parts people ask about before trusting a clipboard manager.

TypeDock stores your library on your devices, and sync is off by default. Copies from password fields and other secure fields are treated as concealed and are never written to clipboard history or disk.

One keystroke away.

Bring your snippets and clipboard everywhere you type — on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
