Screenshots you can search.
Images and files are kept next to your text, and OCR makes the words inside a screenshot searchable.
Now on macOS · 14-day free trial
Everything you copy.
None of it leaves your Mac.
RAAD remembers every clipboard item, finds it by meaning in milliseconds, and lets your own AI tools use it through MCP — all on-device. No account, no cloud, no exceptions.
Free for 14 days · Requires macOS 14 or later · No account needed
History
Nothing you copy is ever lost.
Every copy is saved the moment you make it — plain text, rich text, links, colors, images, and files. An hour ago or a year ago, it is still there, and there is no cap on how much RAAD keeps.
- Unlimited clipboard history
- Rich text, links, and colors
- Images and files
- OCR — searchable text inside screenshots
Search
Find it by what it meant, not what it said.
Type what you remember, not what you copied. RAAD builds a semantic index on your Mac, so searching for “the postgres connection string” finds it even when the text itself says DATABASE_URL. Keyword and typo-tolerant search run alongside it, and you can narrow by app, date, or type.
- On-device semantic search
- Keyword search
- Typo-tolerant fuzzy matching
- Filter by app, date, and type
Reuse
Keep what you reuse one keystroke away.
Pin the snippets, links, colors, and templates you reach for all day. Snippets take variables, abbreviations expand as you type, and ⌘1 through ⌘9 paste your top pins without opening anything at all.
- Pinboards and favorites
- Snippets with variables
- Abbreviation expansion
- Quick Paste — ⌘1 to ⌘9
Every kind of copy
Not just text.
Plain text, rich text, links, colors, images, and files all land in the same history, and each one is shown as what it is.
Colors stay colors.
A copied color is kept as a color, with a swatch you can spot at a glance.
Star what you reach for.
Favorite the clips you reuse, then filter the whole history down to just those.
Sealed with Touch ID.
Lock a pinboard behind Touch ID. Its contents stay hidden until you unlock it.
Paste
Paste it back exactly as you need it.
Rich text where you want it, plain text where you do not — strip formatting on the way out without a detour through a text editor. Transform as you paste: change case, trim whitespace, encode a URL. Or queue several items into a paste stack and drop them in sequence without reopening the panel.
- Paste as plain text
- Formatting stripped on the way out, on demand.
- Text transforms
- Case, trim, encode, and similar one-click edits.
- Paste stack
- Queue several items, paste them in order.
- Popup at your cursor
- The panel opens where you are already looking.
AI tools and developers
Your clipboard, as context for the AI you already use.
RAAD runs an MCP server on your Mac, so Claude, Cursor, Codex, and anything else that speaks MCP can search what you have already copied and use it as context. Write access is opt-in, and every write lands in an audit trail you can actually read.
Terminal
$ raad search "connection string" --limit 3 postgres://localhost:5432/raad_dev DATABASE_URL=postgres://… · copied 3d ago redis://127.0.0.1:6379 · copied 1w ago$ raad mcp status listening · 4 clients · write access: off- MCP server
- Exposes your history to any MCP client, locally.
- Write access with an audit trail
- Opt-in, and every write is logged.
- Your AI, not ours
- RAAD has no built-in assistant. The AI tools you already use do the asking.
- CLI and Apple Shortcuts
- Script it, pipe it, automate it.
Privacy
Private because it never leaves.
Not “private by design” with an asterisk pointing at our servers. There are no servers in the loop. Your history lives in an encrypted store on your Mac, every feature works with the network off, and there is no account to create in the first place.
- Works fully offline
- Every feature, search included, runs with the network off.
- No account required
- Nothing to sign up for. A license key is the only credential.
- Secret redaction before disk
- API keys and tokens are detected and stripped before they touch storage.
- Password manager exclusion
- Copies from password managers are ignored automatically.
- Concealed pasteboard support
- Anything an app marks transient or concealed is never recorded.
- Screen-share exclusion
- The overlay hides itself from recordings and shared screens.
- Biometric-sealed collections
- Lock a pinboard behind Touch ID.
- Encrypted local backup
- Backups are encrypted at rest, on your machine.
Built for how you work.
Developers
Copy one snippet, then the next, without losing the first. Search by meaning when you cannot remember the variable name.
Designers
Colors, icons, and links stay a keystroke away, and screenshots are searchable by the text inside them.
Writers
Never lose a paragraph you forgot to paste back. Strip formatting on the way into the draft.
Researchers
Quotes, citations, and links accumulate all day and stay findable months later.
Comparison
Checked line by line, including where we lose.

The free trial
14 days, everything on.
No account and no card. Here is exactly what happens.
Download and open it.
The trial starts the first time you open RAAD. There is nothing to sign up for and no card to enter.
Use all of it.
For 14 days there is no cap on your history, and the MCP server is on.
Keep it, or don’t.
Buy a plan and enter your license key, and everything you copied during the trial is there again right away. Without one, RAAD keeps capturing but shows only your three most recent clips, and the MCP server stops.
Questions
Questions, answered.
Does my clipboard ever leave my Mac?
No. There are no servers in the loop. Your history lives in an encrypted store on your Mac, and every feature works with the network off.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for. A license key is the only credential, and only if you buy a plan.
Does it record my passwords?
It is built not to. Copies from password managers are ignored, anything an app marks as transient or concealed is never recorded, and API keys and tokens are detected and stripped before they reach storage.
What happens when the free trial ends?
RAAD keeps capturing, but it shows only your three most recent clips and the MCP server stops. Enter a license key and everything you copied comes back immediately. The trial takes no card, so nothing is charged automatically.
What does it cost?
Personal is a monthly or yearly subscription, and Lifetime is a one-time purchase that includes free updates within the major version. Every plan unlocks every feature. Current prices are in the pricing section above, in your local currency where Paddle supports it.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac running macOS 14 or later.
Does it work on iPhone, or sync between my Macs?
Not yet. RAAD is Mac-only today. Universal Clipboard lets you paste into iOS manually, but there is no RAAD app for iOS, and encrypted sync is built but not switched on in the shipping app.
Is there a team plan?
Not yet. Shared team boards are on the roadmap, but the shipping app has no interface for them, so Team is not on sale.
What if something breaks?
Use Send Feedback in the Help menu, or email hello@raad.app, where a person reads it. Feedback reports never include clip content, window titles, or app names.
Stop losing what you copied.
Download RAAD, use every feature free for 14 days, and decide afterwards. No account, no card up front.
