Magpie remembers everything you copy and brings it back instantly — searching what things mean, not just the words, and reading inside your files. All on your Mac.
7-day free trial · works offline · 100% on-device · macOS 14+ & Apple Silicon
Magpie captures everything you copy — text, links, images, colors, and files, with their source and automatic de-dup. Then its local AI makes all of it findable.
Search what you meant, not the exact words. Keyword hits and semantically related clips, each ranked by match — embeddings run locally with MLX.
Reads text from PDF, Word & Pages, Excel & Numbers, and text files (up to a size limit) — and runs OCR on images, so a screenshot’s text is searchable too.
Turn a long clip into a quick TL;DR, or clean up rough text in place — the on-device Compose model handles it without a single word leaving your Mac.
Search in one language and find clips you copied in another — meaning carries across languages, no translation step.
Add a time frame — “last week’s report,” “yesterday’s links” — and Magpie narrows results by when you copied them.
Copy the same thing twice and Magpie keeps one entry, freshly timestamped — your history stays clean instead of filling with repeats.
Not just what you copied — where. The app it came from, and for links, the exact web page. Source stays attached, searchable, and clickable.
Copy in Safari, Chrome, Arc, Edge, and other major browsers and Magpie records the exact page you were on. Months later, jump straight back to the tab the link came from — host shown and clickable.
Text, images, files, colors — whatever you copy, Magpie remembers which app it came from, so you can filter by it or recognize a clip at a glance.
Keyboard-first by design. Summon, find, and paste without ever touching the mouse.
A global hotkey opens the panel over any app. Navigate with ↑ ↓, paste with ⏎.
Pick a clip and Magpie types it straight back into whatever field you were in — no extra paste step.
Hover a clip’s icon and Magpie blows it up — full-size for images, the first page for files — without leaving the panel.
Narrow by type — text, links, images, files — and page back through 30 days with “Show more.”
Magpie runs entirely on your Mac out of the box. Prefer a frontier model? Point it at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead — the choice is yours, and you can switch any time.
Embedding and summarization run locally on your Apple Silicon GPU with MLX. Nothing leaves the Mac — no servers, no account, fully offline after the first download.
Drop in a base URL and key — OpenAI, a local server, or any compatible gateway. Test the connection and Magpie routes summarization and recall through your model instead.
Automatic fallback. If your remote endpoint is unreachable, Magpie quietly falls back to the on-device models so recall never stops — then switches back when the connection returns.
By default, embedding and summarization run locally with MLX on Apple Silicon — no servers, no account, no telemetry. Your clipboard never leaves the device unless you choose to connect a remote model.
The embedding and summary models run on your Apple Silicon GPU. By default nothing is sent to a server — a remote model is strictly opt-in.
Models download once on first launch. After that Magpie works fully offline — we tell you up front so there are no surprises.
Password fields are ignored automatically, and sensitive files like .env, .pem, and .key are never read.
Reading the contents of files you copy means running outside the sandbox. So Magpie ships directly, Apple-notarized for safety.
Start with a 7-day free trial — no credit card. Then a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
No. By default everything — capturing, indexing, embedding, and summarizing — happens locally on your Mac. There is no server and no account unless you opt in to a remote model.
Yes. Point Magpie at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — your own base URL and key — and it routes recall and summarization through that model. Clips you search or summarize are sent only to the endpoint you configure; if it’s unreachable, Magpie falls back to the on-device models automatically.
Only twice: to download the models on first launch, and to activate your license. After that Magpie works offline — it only needs to reconnect to re-verify your license if it has been offline for more than 14 days.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs are not supported.
The on-device models are about 1.3 GB, downloaded once on first launch. Your clip history grows with use and is capped by your retention setting.
No. Magpie extracts and indexes the text from supported files up to a size limit — very large files are only partially read, and binary or unsupported formats are skipped. Images are processed with OCR.
Your license covers 2 Macs. Deactivate an old device yourself from the customer portal, then activate the new one.
Accessibility, for paste-on-select to type into the active field. Reading a link’s originating website host needs Automation permission — that one’s optional.
