Requirements
What you need.
| System | macOS 15 (Sequoia) or newer. On macOS 26 it uses Liquid Glass materials, and older systems fall back to regular translucency |
| Processor | Native on Apple Silicon (M-series) |
| Disk | The app is 12 MB. After that it depends on how many images and files you keep |
| Permission | Accessibility, one of them. It's how TieTie presses ⌘V to paste back into the app you came from. Works without it, pasting just becomes "put it on the clipboard" |
| Network | Not required. Link previews use it, and that feature can be turned off |
Setup
Three steps and you're done.
Drag it to Applications
Open the download and drag TieTie into your Applications folder, same as any app.
Grant Accessibility
The first-run walkthrough takes you to the right settings page, so you're not hunting through System Settings. TieTie notices once you've granted it, no restart needed.
Press ⇧⌘V
That's it. From then on everything you copy gets saved, and that's the key to get it back.
TieTie is a menu bar app, so it won't appear in your Dock. It lives in the row of small icons at the top right of your screen.
FAQ
Things you might ask.
| Coming from Paste? | That works. TieTie can read Paste's exported data. |
| Where's my data? | ~/Library/Application Support/TieTie/.
A standard SQLite database plus an attachments folder, open it any time you like. |
| Moving to a new Mac? | Export a backup in settings, restore it on the new machine. History, categories, pins and attachments all come across. |
| Will it slow things down? | It checks the clipboard every 0.3 seconds, which costs almost nothing. Animation is off by default, specifically to keep daily use light. |
| Can I keep only a few days? | Yes. Set an item limit and a retention period, and anything past it gets cleared. Pinned items and anything filed in a category are exempt. |
| Intel Macs? | Apple Silicon only for now. |
We'll let you know when it ships.
Final polish in progress. Not much longer.
