First launch version
ActionClip brings a compact selected-text action menu to Mac, with built-in actions, smart suggestions, custom workflows, and user-controlled AI.
Selected-text menu
- ActionClip appears beside selected text across Mac apps.
- Run copy, paste, rewrite, translate, convert, and search actions without switching tools.
- Paste results back into the active app when an action produces output.
Built-in actions
- 32 built-in actions for text cleanup, case changes, translations, currency, units, dates, time, links, notes, and more.
- Character count and word count appear directly in the widget for selected text.
- Multiple paste actions help you run repeated paste workflows faster.
Smart suggestions
- ActionClip detects dates, times, currencies, links, foreign text, and rough replies.
- The most relevant next action is surfaced first.
Custom actions
- Create reusable actions for JavaScript text transformations, AI prompts, terminal commands, Apple Scripts, and link creation.
- Pin, reorder, group, enable, or disable actions to keep the widget focused.
- Choose from the original ActionClip widget themes.
AI action builder
- Tell ActionClip what action you want in simple words.
- Test the generated action before saving it.
- Run saved AI-created actions from the selected-text menu.
AI control and privacy
- Use on-device Apple Intelligence when available.
- Use external AI API keys only for actions you configure and allow.
- No account is required for local actions.
