Clippie

Clippie is a tiny macOS utility that grabs whatever text is on your clipboard and instantly writes it out as a timestamped Markdown file in your ~/Downloads folder. It’s a one-click way to turn clipboard snippets into files you can feed into LLMs for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows, or whatever your needs are.

Features

• Instant: Double-click the app and your clipboard is saved as clipboard_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md.
• Lightweight: No extra dependencies beyond what ships with macOS and Python 3.
• RAG-friendly: Perfect for quickly dumping web text, notes, or code snippets into Markdown files you can index or embed.

Built With

• Platypus – Bundles the Python script into a native .app

Usage

1. Download or build Clippie.app.
2. Copy any text to your clipboard.
3. Double-click Clippie.
4. Check your ~/Downloads folder for a new .md file containing your clipboard contents.
