A browser recreation of Catcher’s recall experience, with sample content. It does not read your clipboard.
SMALL TOOL. EVERYDAY DIFFERENCE.
From the first copy to the final paste, Catcher keeps the useful things close and the busywork out of your way.
Search by content, type, or source app. Recognize code, links, images, files and rich text before you paste.
Summon the tray. Find your clip. Return to what you were doing.
Keep the original formatting or leave it behind. Paste back into the app you were using.
Pin what you reuse and add clips to named Collections. We’re developing a richer organization workflow, including rule-based Smart Collections.
LESS FRICTION, FROM COPY TO DONE
Text, links, images, code, files. Catcher keeps your eligible copies in local history.
Open the tray, type a few words, or browse by source app and content type.
Choose the right clip and paste it back. Or drag it into an app that accepts it.
FOR THE WORK BETWEEN APPS
Built for people who spend their day turning scattered pieces into something useful.
Bring back a command, a code fragment, or the link to the docs. Search by app when you remember where it came from.
Keep colors, reference images, and project notes together. Recognize the visual before it lands in your work.
Reuse a good paragraph, recover a reference, and paste without unwanted formatting. Pin the pieces you reach for often.
TRUST IS PART OF THE PRODUCT
Your clipboard can hold a lot of your day. Catcher makes storage, exclusions, and network choices visible.
History is stored on your Mac with a Keychain-protected encryption key. Sensitive clipboard markers and app exclusions help keep private content out.
iCloud sync for pinned clips is planned and remains off by default. The working recall experience is local; cross-device sync is not yet available.
Link information and app-icon previews use network requests by default. Turn them off in Privacy settings for local-only previews.

Catcher is in private alpha. You can request access by email; availability is confirmed individually. There is no public download or checkout yet.
The current app targets macOS 14 and later. Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android apps are not available. Optional iCloud sync does not mean an iOS app or background iPhone clipboard capture.
History is local. Network-enhanced previews are on by default and can contact websites, Apple’s app lookup and an icon CDN; you can disable them in Privacy settings. iCloud sync is in development and is not yet available.
Our proposed Pro plan adds advanced organization, optional sync, extended history capacity, and member benefits. Smart Collections and cross-device sync are still in development. Final feature allocation and prices will be confirmed before launch. The private alpha is not currently split into paid tiers.
Catcher uses macOS Accessibility permission to paste a selected clip into the app you were previously using. The getting-started guide explains this workflow.
