What it does

Everything you wish macOS already had

Global shortcut

Press ⌘⇧V from any app to open your clipboard history instantly — just like Win+V on Windows.

Text & images

DejaVu remembers both text snippets and copied images. No more losing that screenshot you copied two steps ago.

Smart sorting

The things you use most often rise to the top, so your clipboard starts to feel like it knows your habits.

Lightweight all day

Less than 0.1% CPU, 10 MB RAM, and 5 MB on disk. It runs all day without you noticing it.

System, Light, or Dark

Appearance follows your macOS theme automatically, or lock it to Light or Dark from the settings screen.

50-item history

Configurable history limit keeps things snappy. The full list is always just a keystroke away.

Why Accessibility permission?

DejaVu asks for Accessibility access so it can open with ⌘⇧V while you are working in other apps. It does not log keystrokes, send your data anywhere, or read anything except what you intentionally copy to the clipboard.
