Keptic

Your clipboard, saved and searchable across every device.

Keptic runs in your Mac menu bar. It captures every copy, categorizes it with on-device AI, detects credentials, and syncs your full history to iPhone via iCloud.

macOS 26+ · iOS 26+ · Apple Silicon required for AI features

What it does.

Keptic replaces the single-item clipboard with a full, searchable, categorized history that follows you across devices.

Clipboard history

Every Cmd+C is captured and stored on-device. 200-clip free trial, then unlimited with Pro (up to 5,000 in history). Text, links, code — scroll back hours, days, or weeks.

On-device AI categorization

Clips are classified as code, links, emails, addresses, or credentials using Apple's Foundation Models. Nothing leaves your device.

Credential detection

Passwords, API keys, and tokens are flagged automatically. Configure auto-deletion after 1, 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours.

iCloud sync

Copy on Mac, see it on iPhone. CloudKit handles sync — encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple, with app-level AES-256 encryption for credentials. Offline-first, automatic.

Smart search

Find any clip by text, category, source app, or date range. Pro users get AI-powered semantic search.

Pinned clips

Pin templates, snippets, and frequently used text. One click to paste into any app.

AI categorization interface

AI that runs entirely on your Mac.

Keptic uses Apple's Foundation Models framework to classify clips. The model runs locally on your Apple Silicon — no network requests, no cloud processing, no data leaves your machine.

  • Recognizes code, URLs, emails, phone numbers, addresses
  • Detects API keys, passwords, and tokens
  • Filter history by any category in one click
  • Falls back to heuristic matching when AI is unavailable
On-device privacy architecture

Private by architecture, not by policy.

There is no Keptic server. We don't collect analytics. We don't have your data. Your clipboard stays in two places: your device and your iCloud account.

  • All AI processing happens on-device
  • No accounts, no telemetry, no tracking
  • Sensitive clips auto-delete on a schedule you set
  • iCloud sync is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple, with app-level AES-256 encryption for credentials
iCloud sync between Mac and iPhone

One clipboard across Mac and iPhone.

Copy a code snippet on your Mac, pull it up on your iPhone. Keptic uses CloudKit to sync everything — automatically, securely, offline-first.

  • Copy on Mac, see it on iPhone instantly
  • Works on all iCloud-connected Apple devices
  • Offline-first — syncs when reconnected
  • No setup beyond signing into iCloud

Questions.

How does Keptic read my clipboard?

On macOS, Keptic polls the system pasteboard using a standard Apple API — the same mechanism any clipboard app uses. On iPhone, clips arrive via iCloud sync from your Mac. Keptic never reads the iOS clipboard directly.

Does AI categorization work offline?

Yes. All AI runs locally using Apple's Foundation Models framework. No internet required, no data sent anywhere.

What happens when I hit the 200-clip trial limit?

Your existing clips stay accessible, but new copies won't be saved until you upgrade to Pro. Upgrading removes the trial limit entirely and lets you keep up to 5,000 clips in your history.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Your clips remain on your device and in iCloud. New clips stop being captured once you've exceeded the 200-clip trial limit.

What are the system requirements?

macOS 26 or later for the Mac app. iOS 26 or later for the iPhone app. AI features require Apple Silicon (M-series Mac or iPhone 15 Pro and later).

How does sensitive content detection work?

Keptic uses pattern matching (free) or on-device AI (Pro) to detect passwords, API keys, and tokens. Detected items are flagged and hidden. You can configure auto-deletion after 1, 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours in Settings.

Is the lifetime plan really one-time?

Yes. It's a non-consumable in-app purchase through the App Store. One payment, all features and future updates, no renewals.
