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.
