TieTieThe key you press most
all day is ⌘C.
You hit it a few hundred times a day, and every time it wipes out whatever was there before. TieTie keeps all of it, laid out as a wall of sticky notes you can actually see. Need one back? Press ⇧⌘V.

- No account

You probably hit one of these today.
None of it is a disaster. Just the kind of small annoyance you forget five minutes later, which is exactly why it keeps happening.
Copy something new, lose the old thing
That API key was right there. Then you copied a URL and it's gone. The window you got it from? Already closed.
"I copied that last week"
You're sure you did. But which page, which file, which Slack thread? No idea.
Filling one form, switching eight times
Name here, address there, phone number somewhere else. Copy one, paste one, switch back, repeat.
If you can see it, you can find it.
A list of truncated text lines has the same problem you started with. So every clip becomes a card that looks like what it is: images look like images, code gets syntax colors, links pull in a thumbnail and title.
Two shapes, two appearances, your call.
Same cards, four combinations. Two switches in settings, and no restart.
Card style and panel layout are two separate switches. One shapes the panel, the other shapes the cards. See all four combinations.
Everything you'd expect,
done properly.
Thousands of clips, three letters to find one
No need to click a search icon first. With the panel open, just start typing. It's a full-text index so results come back in milliseconds.
- Text inside images is searchable too, via local OCR
- type:image and app:chrome narrow it down
- Searches every category at once, so you don't have to pick the right one first
Three places, three different promises
History is a stream and it ages out on its own. Pinboard is permanent, so anything you pin stays. Categories are yours to make, and dragging something in files it away.
- One clip can live in all three at once
- Drag to reorder anything into the shape you want
- Deleting a category doesn't delete what's inside it
Hands stay on the keyboard
Return pastes back into whatever app you came from. ⇧Return strips the formatting first. The first nine cards are numbered, so ⌘1 through ⌘9 send them straight out.
- Paste Stack: copy a bunch, then hit ⌘V repeatedly to lay them down in order
- Space previews anything, including web pages, PDFs, video and Office files
- Drag to Finder and you get a real file, not a .textClipping
Take a screenshot, fix it right there
Crop, rotate, resize, eight filters, markup tools, one-click background removal. All of it inside TieTie, so cropping one screenshot doesn't mean opening another app.
- Background removal runs on Apple's Vision framework, locally
- Markup has 6 tools, 7 colors, 3 line widths, and undo
- Edits apply to the full-resolution original, not the thumbnail
You know what's in there better than anyone.
Passwords, ID numbers, a message you haven't sent yet, an internal URL from work. None of that belongs on someone else's server, so TieTie doesn't send any of it anywhere.
- No account system, because it doesn't need one
- Anything your password manager copies gets skipped
- The panel hides itself during screen sharing
- Your database is a plain SQLite file in your home folder
Not a web page in a wrapper.
A real Mac app.
Plenty of tools ship a whole browser engine inside. Open one and it takes a few hundred megabytes, spins up the fan, and never quite matches the system. TieTie is written in Swift from scratch.
12 MB
That's the whole app. No browser tucked inside it.
Idles on almost nothing
It checks the clipboard every 0.3 seconds, which costs close to nothing. Animation is off by default, specifically to keep daily use light.
Looks like the system
Native controls, follows your light and dark setting, and uses Liquid Glass materials on macOS 26. It looks like it belongs on your Mac.
There the moment you ask
Press ⇧⌘V and the panel is up. No waking up first. Search runs on a full-text index, so tens of thousands of clips still come back in milliseconds.
Copying is half the workflow.Everything after ⌘C is its job
TieTie catches the other half.
Meet the TieTie dog.
It naps on your menu bar and stays out of the way. Press ⇧⌘V and it wakes up, then fetches the card you asked for. It takes the guarding part seriously.
What you copied today,
still there next month.
