Copy anything
Text, links, images, colors, code, and files go into your History as you copy them. Content that apps mark as concealed, like passwords from a password manager, is skipped.
Edit what you copied before you paste it.
Copyrail is a clipboard manager for Mac, driven from the keyboard. Crop, mark up, and redact what you copied, then paste it back.

Questions? Answers.
What happens after the trial?
Copyrail stops capturing what you copy but keeps your History, so you can still search, delete, and clear it, and a Purchase restores everything.
Why does it ask for Accessibility permission?
macOS requires it before Copyrail can press ⌘V for you in the app you were using. Without it, Copyrail still works: choosing an item puts it on the clipboard and you press ⌘V yourself.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Your History doesn't. Copyrail has no analytics or telemetry, and it connects only when you ask it to: to activate or deactivate a Mac, to check for updates, and to fetch a page's title for Copy as Markdown on a link. Automatic update checks are off unless you turn them on in Settings.
Does it save passwords I copy?
Copyrail never saves content that an app marks as concealed, transient, or auto-generated, and password managers use those marks for copied passwords. A password you copy from a plain text file is saved like any other text.
Does it sync to my other devices?
No. Your History stays on one Mac.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 15 or later. You download it from this site, not the Mac App Store.
Share screenshots that are already cropped, marked up, and safe to send.
