macOS clipboard manager

A little hutch for everything you copy.

Hutchlet keeps everything you copy — text, links, images, and files — and hands it back with one quick shortcut. Secrets are encrypted behind Touch ID, and nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Everything you copy, ready when you need it

The default macOS clipboard remembers just one thing at a time. Hutchlet remembers it all — and adds a few productivity tools that earn their place in your menu bar.

Unlimited history

Text, links, images, and files — all captured automatically and searchable in a flash.

Summon at the cursor

A quick shortcut (⌘⇧V) or a mouse gesture pops the panel right where you’re working — pick an item and it pastes straight back.

Secrets, kept safe

Passwords, API keys, and card numbers are spotted automatically, encrypted on your Mac, masked as ab••••yz, and revealed only behind Touch ID.

Password generator

Create a strong password or passphrase, see its entropy, and drop it straight into the secure clipboard — it auto-clears a few seconds later.

Cheat Sheets

Ready-made commands with parameters. Fill in the fields, preview the exact result, then copy or paste — you decide when to run it.

Snippets

Save the text you reuse — replies, signatures, boilerplate. Add {fields} to fill in on paste. Organise them into folders.

Spotlight

Stop retyping the commands you run all day

Cheat Sheets turn the commands, scripts, and URLs you reach for over and over into fill-in-the-blank templates. Pick a template, fill its parameters, preview the rendered command, and choose how it’s delivered — copy, paste, or open a link.

  • Live preview. See the exact command, with values substituted, before anything happens.
  • Risk-aware. Every template carries a risk badge — from Safe to Destructive — and the riskiest actions need an explicit confirmation.
  • Never runs behind your back. Hutchlet prepares the command; you decide when to press Enter.
  • Shareable. Save a filled-in sheet and hand it to a teammate as a portable link.
How Cheat Sheets work →
# A template…
ping -c ${count} "${host}"

# …you fill in
count = 8
host  = 8.8.8.8

# …and preview before it goes anywhere
ping -c 8 "8.8.8.8"
Private by design

Your clipboard never leaves your Mac

Hutchlet has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking, and makes no network calls with your clipboard data — the current build has no networking entitlement at all. Secrets are encrypted locally with Apple CryptoKit and unlocked with Touch ID. And because the source is published, you don’t have to take our word for it.

Copy freely — it all stays on your Mac. Hutchlet lives quietly in your menu bar and is ready the moment you need it.
