Clipboard that understands

Money gets converted, phone numbers get formats, secrets expire on their own. Every copy is one hover away.

A real shelf

Screenshots land on the shelf instead of burying your desktop. Drag them into chats, mark them up, or turn a recording into text.

Questions

Is my data safe?

Recognition and clipboard history live entirely on your Mac. The only thing that touches the network is text polishing — it goes through our server to an AI model and is not stored anywhere.

What happens after the trial?

14 days, full features, no card. After that the shelf and clipboard keep working free; dictation polishing and AI tools need a subscription — $10/month or $100/year. Cancel anytime in one click.

Which Macs are supported?

Any Apple Silicon MacBook (M1 or newer) on macOS 14+. The notch is where Perch lives, but it works on notchless Macs too — the shelf just drops from the menu bar.

How do updates work?

Perch checks for updates daily and installs them itself. You can always check manually in Settings.
