Mac Clipboard Manager Plugin
Stream Deck Plugins for Mac OS
Your clipboard can only hold one thing at a time. Mac Clipboard Manager gives you as many clipboard slots as you have Stream Deck keys.
Copy something — text, rich text, or an image — press a slot key, and it's stored. The key instantly shows a preview of what you captured and what type it is. Need it again? Press the same key and it's pasted into whatever app you're working in. Long press to clear a slot and start fresh.
Capture an image from Illustrator, a formatted paragraph from Pages, and a code snippet from your editor — all stored on separate keys, all pasteable with a single press. Each slot persists across Stream Deck restarts.
The key icon changes dynamically to show the content type: text lines for plain text, formatted lines for rich text, or a landscape thumbnail for images. You'll always know what's in each slot at a glance.
No subscription, no cloud sync, no background processes. Just fast, local clipboard slots that live on your Stream Deck.
Works with every Stream Deck model on macOS.
Mac Clipboard Manager Plugin
Features:
Three content types — captures plain text, rich text (RTF), and images (PNG/TIFF) from any app.
Capture & paste — press an empty slot to capture the current clipboard; press a filled slot to paste its contents.
Auto type detection — the plugin checks the clipboard and captures the richest type available: image → rich text → plain text.
Live preview — each key displays a word-wrapped preview of stored text, or dimensions for images. Content type indicators (🖼 for images, 📝 for RTF) appear on the key.
Dynamic icons — the clipboard icon on each key changes to reflect the content type: text lines, formatted text with highlights, or a landscape image graphic.
Long press to clear — hold a filled slot for half a second to clear it.
Persistent storage — text is saved in settings; images and RTF are saved to temp files. All survive app restarts.
Custom labels — name your slots ("Logo", "Signature", "Address") for quick identification.
Unlimited slots — add as many keys as you need.
