Copy as usual
Tack quietly keeps recent text and images while you work. Each item remembers where it came from.
Native for macOSLocal by design
Your clipboard.
One shortcut away.
Tack remembers the text and images you copy, then brings them back in a fast, searchable strip — without sending your history anywhere.

How it works
Copy. Recall. Keep moving.
Tack stays quiet until the moment your clipboard needs a memory.
Press ⌘ ⇧ V
The history strip rises from the bottom of the screen you’re using, with search ready for your first keystroke.
Choose and continue
Use the arrow keys and Return. Tack puts the item on your clipboard and can paste it into the app you came from.
Designed for flow
Small utility.
Thoughtful details.
Fast enough to become muscle memory, with the controls you want from software that sees your clipboard.
Find anything
Search the content — or the app it came from.
Type the words you remember, or narrow the list by source app. Results update instantly without leaving the keyboard.
Keyboard first
Navigate at the speed of thought.
Arrow to move, Shift to mark a range, Return to use it, Command-Delete to remove it, and Command-Z to undo.
Text + images
The things you actually copy.
Addresses, links, snippets, confirmation codes, notes, and images stay close at hand in compact, scannable cards.
At home on macOS
On every Space. Out of the way when you’re done.
Tack opens on the display under your pointer, floats over full-screen apps, then slides away when you paste, press Escape, or move on to another app.
Private by architecture
Your clipboard is personal.
Tack treats it that way.
History lives inside Tack’s app container on your Mac. Password-manager and other concealed clipboard items are skipped, and recommended exclusions are included from day one.

Tack can paste a selected item back into the previous app. If you leave Automatic Paste off, it simply copies the item for a manual Command-V.
