Frequently asked questions

How do I open the clipboard picker?

Press ⌃⌥V (Control-Option-V) anywhere. You can change the shortcut in Settings → Hotkeys.

I don’t see a window or Dock icon — where is cpMan?

cpMan is a menu-bar app by design. Look for the clipboard icon in the menu bar (top-right). It has no Dock icon and no ⌘Tab entry.

Auto-paste isn’t working.

Auto-paste needs Accessibility permission. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and enable cpMan. If it isn’t listed, click +, press ⌘⇧G, type /Applications, and choose cpMan. You can also leave Auto-paste off and paste manually with ⌘V.

Can I search text inside images?

Yes. With OCR enabled (Settings → Images), cpMan reads text inside copied images and screenshots on-device, so they show up in search.

How do I stop cpMan from recording certain apps?

Add them to the ignore list in Settings → Ignore List (great for password managers), or use Private Mode from the menu bar to pause recording entirely.

How do I switch themes?

Settings → Appearance lets you choose Light, Dark, or System, and set a custom accent color, with a live preview.

Where is my data stored?

Entirely on your Mac, in the app’s sandbox container. Nothing is uploaded. See the Privacy Policy for details.

What are the requirements?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
