Features

Clipboard History & Search

• Records text, images, files, colors, links, and rich text.
• Search by keyword, regex, or type — with on-device semantic search powered by NLEmbedding.
• Slash-triggered search rules: filter by app, date, or type (include/exclude, multi-value).
• Per-item custom titles — searchable, and synced across devices.
• Tags and smart categories.
• Context-aware ordering: items sorted by relevance to the current app.

Smart Features

• Smart Rules — automated workflows with condition matching and actions, including JavaScript script plugins.
• OCR — automatically extracts text from images in the background (Vision framework, multi-language).
• Cursor Assistant — triple-tap Shift to get context-aware clipboard suggestions at your cursor, with trigger-word matching and template integration.
• Template Library — save reusable clipboard templates with color coding and cursor-position paste.
• Text Transformations — JSON format/minify, Base64, URL encode/decode, case conversion, timestamp parsing, MD5 hash, line sort/dedup, and more.
• IDE Source Anchor — copies from VS Code, Xcode, JetBrains, Cursor, or Windsurf automatically capture file path + line number; click to jump back.
• Figma Detection — recognizes Figma clipboard content with a dedicated preview.
• Link Preview with one-tap QR code generation.
• Link Cleaner — strips tracking parameters from URLs.
• Instant Calculation — copy a math expression, see the result immediately.
• Smart Text Detection — identifies emails, URLs, phone numbers, code language, JWT tokens, and more.

Privacy & Security

• Local-first — your data stays on your Mac by default.
• Touch ID / Face ID unlock before opening the panel.
• Sensitive data filtering — auto-detects bank card numbers and identity/passport numbers via Luhn algorithm; skips capture.
• Window-aware protection — detects sensitive window titles (password fields, login pages) and pauses capture automatically.
• Clipboard steganography — embed hidden messages in images or zero-width text.
• Screen share detection — optionally hides the panel during screen sharing or recording.
• Pause mode — temporarily stop capturing with one click.

Sync & Sharing

• LAN Sharing with AES-GCM encryption and TOTP verification.
• Direct IP Connection — connect to peers by IP address, bypassing VPN or Bonjour issues.

Workflow

• Queue mode — paste multiple items in sequence.
• Keyboard-first design with optional Vim mode.
• Typing paste — type clipboard content character-by-character instead of pasting.
• Siri Shortcuts — query recent clipboard items via App Intents.
• CLI Bridge — local automation and external integrations from the terminal.
• Data export — export your clipboard history.
• Usage statistics — all computed locally, never uploaded.
• Migration from Paste, Maccy, CopyClip, and other clipboard apps.
• Auto updates with daily checks (or manual check in Settings).
• Missing-file warnings with auto-cleanup after closing the panel.

Integrations

• Deck × Orbit — radial app switcher + file hub. Cursor ring, long-press trigger, drag-to-quit, file AirDrop/trash.

Updating from 1.4.5 or Earlier

Starting with 1.4.6, Deck uses a new signature, so macOS treats it as a new app:

• If a keychain prompt appears on first launch, enter your login password and choose Always Allow.
