Cubby lives in your Mac's menu bar. Hit a hotkey and an elegant panel pops up with your named compartments — phone, API keys, bank details, snippets. Type, press return, it's copied. On-device AI finds anything by meaning. 100% local. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Stop digging through browsers, notes, and old chats for that one value you saved somewhere.
Cubby is a native macOS menu-bar app that keeps the little things you look up constantly — phone numbers, API keys, bank details, addresses, boilerplate — in named compartments you control ("Personal", "API Keys", "Bank").
Press ⌘⇧Space from anywhere → the panel springs up → type to filter → hit return → it's on your clipboard and gone. About a second, end to end.
What makes it different:
🗂️ Curated, not a clipboard dump. These are your buckets, not a time-ordered history to scroll.
✨ On-device AI smart find. Type "my bank number" and the right entry floats up — no exact words needed.
🪄 Auto-organize on paste. Paste a Stripe key, a PAN, a card number — Cubby recognizes it, files it, and marks it secret.
🔐 Keychain-backed secrets, masked until you reveal them.
🛡️ 100% on-device. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Even the AI runs locally.
Free for up to 15 cubbies. Lifetime $49 — $29 for the first 500 (code FOUNDERS). Built for macOS 14+, signed & notarized by Apple.
Finally tried Cubby this morning and the semantic search actually found a random WiFi password I'd saved weeks ago without remembering the exact label. Really slick that it all stays on-device.
the on-device semantic search actually works which caught me off guard, asked it for my stripe test key and it pulled the right one from a mess of old snippets
Love how clean the panel feels and the on-device search is genuinely fast. One thing that would make it a daily driver for me is per-compartment hotkeys, so I can jump straight to my most used ones without cycling through. Right now I have to open Cubby every time even when I just want my AWS key.
a clipboard history view would be super useful, like let me scroll back through the last 20 things i copied even if they weren't saved to a compartment. sometimes i grab something and forget to cubby it immediately
One thing I'd love to see is the option to set per-compartment auto-clear timers, so anything sensitive like bank details disappears from the clipboard after a few seconds. Right now I have to remember to wipe it manually.
Love the on-device approach and the clean menu bar workflow. One thing that would make it stickier for me: a way to right-click any text anywhere on macOS and send it straight into a compartment without opening the panel.
the on-device semantic search is genuinely thoughtful — most clipboard managers only do exact match so finding that one api key by vague memory is usually a nightmare. love that it stays local too.
The on-device semantic search is genuinely impressive, found my obscure API key with a vague description. Menu bar pop-up feels snappy and stays out of the way, which is exactly what I want from this kind of tool.
