Unified clipboard and screenshot search
Search copied text, images, screenshots, text detected inside images, and saved snippets from one keyboard-driven history.
BiBimba
BiBimba is a Mac clipboard manager for searching copied text, images, screenshots, OCR results, and snippets from one history. It also extracts text from images and offers on-device translation, summaries, and rewrites on compatible Apple silicon Macs.
Mac clipboard history with screenshot OCR
BiBimba is a clipboard manager for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It brings copied text, images, screenshots, OCR results, and snippets into a searchable history, so you can retrieve an earlier item without remembering where it was saved.
The app can read text from screenshots and copied images, then apply on-device text actions such as translation, summarization, business-email rewriting, bullet-list formatting, and saved instructions when the Mac has a supported Apple Intelligence setup. Results can be pasted into the app you were already using. Clipboard and screenshot history stays on the Mac, with controls for retention and deletion.
Key features
Screenshot and image OCR
Automatically detect text in screenshots and copied images, then copy the relevant text or search for it later.
Table extraction
Convert a detected table into Markdown, JSON, or HTML for reuse in another document or workflow.
Keyboard text actions
Run translation, summaries, business-email rewrites, bullet-list formatting, and other saved instructions on selected text.
Pick and paste
Choose an item from history and paste it back into the application you were using, with plain-text paste available when needed.
Local retention controls
Control how many history items are retained and how long they remain; older entries are removed automatically and individual items can be deleted.
Practical use cases
Retrieve information from receipts and screenshots
Search for words such as an invoice or receipt total across copied content and screenshots, then paste the relevant result into the document or message where it is needed.
Reuse tabular information
Capture a screenshot containing a table, use OCR to detect it, and export the result as Markdown, JSON, or HTML for further editing.
Prepare text for communication
Select copied text and run a translation, summary, bullet-list conversion, or business-email rewrite before pasting the result into the current application.
Reuse standard text
Keep frequently reused text as snippets and find it alongside clipboard history instead of maintaining a separate manual list.
Work from the keyboard
Use keyboard shortcuts to search history, pick an item, open snippets, capture a screenshot, or start OCR without leaving the active workflow.
