Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cubix Clip?+
Cubix Clip is a native macOS clipboard manager. It quietly keeps a history of everything you copy, text, images, files and links, and lets you recall any of it instantly by pressing ⌘⇧V. It's keyboard-first, opens in under 100ms, and stores everything locally on your Mac.
Is Cubix Clip really free?+
Yes. The Free plan keeps your last 200 clips with full search, pinning and quick-paste, no account, no credit card. Pro is a one-time $9 purchase that unlocks unlimited history, unlimited collections, and AI search. There is no subscription.
Is my clipboard data private?+
Completely. Cubix Clip is local-first. Your history lives in a local SQLite database on your Mac and never leaves your device. There's no account required and no network calls in the core app. iCloud sync is on the roadmap as an opt-in Pro feature.
Does it work on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)?+
Yes. Cubix Clip is optimized for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It's lightweight and stays out of your way, which is exactly why the panel opens in under 100ms, every time.
How is it different from Paste or Maccy?+
Cubix Clip is fast, keyboard-first and local-first. Unlike Paste's subscription, Cubix Clip Pro is a one-time $9 purchase. Unlike Maccy, it handles images, files and rich text, supports collections, and includes on-device AI search on Pro.
What can it remember?+
Plain text, rich text, images, files and links, all captured automatically and previewed in the panel. You can pin the ones you reach for most and group the rest into collections.
Does it clutter my Dock?+
No. Cubix Clip lives only in your menu bar. There's no Dock icon and no window in your way, just a clipboard icon and the floating panel when you summon it.
Can I change the keyboard shortcut?+
Yes. The default is ⌘⇧V to open the panel and ⌘⇧F to open and jump straight to search, but both are fully customizable in Settings. You can also choose to launch Cubix Clip automatically at login.
