Graboard
Features

Everything Graboard does.

One fast, private menu-bar app that grabs everything you copy or capture — and gives you real tools to use it.

Clipboard history

Everything you copy, kept and organized.

Graboard captures every kind of thing you copy as a first-class, browsable item — not just plain text.

  • Text, code, URLs, images, files, SVG and colors — each as its own item
  • Automatic de-duplication so your history stays clean
  • Pin the items you reach for most; they stay on top
  • Optional auto-clear on quit, and a one-click Clear All

Search

Find anything you copied — even inside images.

Instant full-text search across your whole history, including the text recognized inside your screenshots via built-in OCR.

  • Full-text search that stays instant into the tens of thousands of items
  • OCR makes the words inside screenshots searchable
  • Pinned-first ordering keeps favorites within reach

Rich previews

Previews that actually tell you something.

Every item type gets a useful, detailed preview pane — not just a thumbnail.

  • Code: syntax highlighting for 15 languages with 8 themes, language auto-detected
  • Colors: swatch, WCAG contrast, tints & shades, conversions across hex/rgb/hsl/oklch
  • URLs: a clean breakdown of host, path and components
  • Files: thumbnail, metadata, and per-variant paste options

Screenshots

Capture straight to your clipboard.

Grab a region, a window, or the full screen with ScreenCaptureKit — it lands in your history, searchable by its text.

  • Region, window and full-screen modes, each with its own hotkey
  • Silent, cursor and delay options
  • PNGs saved to a folder you choose
  • Every shot is OCR-indexed and instantly searchable

Annotation editor

Mark it up before you send it.

A built-in annotation editor opens on any screenshot — and your annotations stay re-editable.

  • Arrows, boxes, blur, crop, text, highlight and numbered steps
  • Re-open and tweak annotations anytime
  • Designed for quick "here's what I mean" markup

Color picker

A real toolkit for colors.

Pick any pixel on screen with the system loupe and get a full color workspace, with every value sent to your history.

  • System loupe to sample any pixel on screen
  • Swatch, WCAG contrast badges, tints & shades
  • One-click conversion between hex, rgb, hsl, oklch and more

Sharing & paste

Built for how you actually paste.

Get items back out fast — by keyboard, via the share sheet, or straight back into the app you were just using.

  • Global hotkey and full keyboard-only navigation
  • Native Share Sheet to send any item to another app
  • Paste by format, component or attribute — including OCR text
  • Paste straight back into the app you came from

Privacy & filtering

Confidential pasteboard types (password managers, etc.) are skipped automatically. Add per-app exclusions and turn on clear-on-quit. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you choose to share it.

Native & fast

A pure Swift/AppKit menu-bar app shipped as a universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel. SQLite full-text search keeps everything instant.

See it on your Mac.
