From copied to useful

A little less hunting.
A lot more context.

Your clips keep their source, previews and details, so finding the right one feels familiar.

02 / Organize

Make a collection.
Let it keep up.

Save a search as a collection. Matching clips join automatically, including the things you copy next.

Prefer to choose by hand? Add selected clips to a manual collection, pin your favorites, or lock important items in Vault.

Your search becomes the rule.
Current and future matches, in one place.

A few things to know

Before you make
room for it.

CaF is coming soon for macOS.

Can I download CaF yet?

This is a preview of the app. The public download is coming soon; release timing and pricing have not been announced.

Where does my clipboard history live?

Your clip library is stored locally on your Mac. CaF keeps saved file copies and screenshot originals with the app’s data. A cloud account is not required.

What can I save?

Text, links, images and file clips. The preview pane supports common image, audio, video and document formats, including PDF. Preview availability depends on the format and whether the original or a saved copy is available.

What does locking an item do?

Locked items appear in Vault and are protected from deletion. Unlock an item when you are ready to include it in cleanup.

Which macOS permissions does it use?

Screen Recording permission enables screenshot capture. Accessibility permission lets CaF paste directly into other apps. The app shows permission status and links to the relevant macOS settings.
