Press your chosen trigger key (Command by default) twice, quickly. The clipboard overlay slides in from the edge of your screen.
Slip does not appear in the Dock — use the menu bar icon for settings and to quit.
Slip asks macOS for two permissions:
pasted into the app you were using
Slip does not use Accessibility APIs. macOS lists the keystroke-sending permission under
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, so that is where you turn Slip on.
Sending keystrokes is optional — without it, your selection is placed on the clipboard so you
can paste it yourself with ⌘V.
Both permissions are used only for the above. **Slip never records what you type, and never sends
anything outside your Mac.**
Try these in order:
If none of this helps, please contact us at our contact form.
With the overlay open, any of these will paste:
Yes. Use Option + Shift + number keys to pick items that aren't next to each other, Command + Shift + arrow keys
to select a range, or select several with the mouse — then press Enter (or drag and drop).
They're pasted in the order you selected them.
Yes. Along with text, images and files such as videos and PDFs are kept in their original form —
files stay files, images stay images.
Yes. Right-click a card → "Save to category", or press Command + S to choose where to save it.
Saved items are never pushed out by new history.
In Settings → "Position", you can have it appear from the top or bottom of your screen (horizontal bar).
Left and right (vertical column) is a PRO feature.
Settings → "Display language" → choose 日本語, then restart Slip
(menu bar icon → Quit, then launch again). On macOS, language changes take effect after a restart.
No. Everything you copy is stored only on your Mac.
Slip never sends your clipboard contents to any external server.
The only time Slip connects to the internet is when you open and submit the contact form yourself.
See the privacy policy for details.
They aren't saved. When a password manager (such as 1Password) marks a copy as Concealed to macOS,
Slip automatically excludes it from your history.
The same applies to copies marked Transient or AutoGenerated by an app.
(Slip follows the industry-standard markers from nspasteboard.org.)
You can select and delete individual cards, or delete a whole category.
(Deletion can't be undone, so please confirm in the dialog.)
The everyday experience is the same on the free version. PRO unlocks four things:
| Feature | Free | PRO |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay position | Top / bottom (horizontal bar) | ＋ Left / right (vertical column) |
| Categories | Up to 3 | Unlimited |
| Cards shown | 6 (fixed, top/bottom) | Expandable |
| History kept | Latest 15 items | Unlimited |
PRO is available as a one-time purchase or monthly plan. With a one-time purchase, you keep it forever. The monthly plan renews automatically and can be canceled in Subscriptions in your Apple Account.
Yes. With the same Apple Account, use "Restore purchases" in Settings.
Refunds are handled by Apple (the App Store), not by the developer — we're unable to process refunds ourselves.
