Hi, I'm Mykhailo, the developer of Zmina.

Between ⌘C and ⌘V, nothing happens. Surprise!

But there is ⌘⇧V - that's Zmina. It reads what's in your clipboard and which app you're pasting into, then offers a short list of actions you can apply. Without switching apps.

Are you familiar with these problems?

You want to paste a big chunk of text into an email as a file, so you create a file, paste into it, save it, attach it, then delete this temp file.
You copied a log and need to paste it into an issue, but it has emails, IPs and tokens in it. You need to hide this sensitive info before making it public. So you open your text editor, search/replace or run regexes.
You want to paste Rust code into Discord, so you wrap it in ```rust by hand.

I built Zmina to resolve them (and others).

How it works

You copy something.
Zmina detects what it is - JSON, code, SQL, spreadsheet data, markdown, image, file... Zmina also checks what's inside it - emails, IPs, secrets, credit cards...
Instead of ⌘V, you press ⌘⇧V (configurable).
Zmina looks at the app you're pasting into and which site, if you're in a browser, and offers only the actions that make sense there. Copy a few cells from a spreadsheet, paste into your notes, and it offers a clean table. Pick one action or chain a few, see the preview, press Enter.

History (⌘⇧H) is the other half: everything you've ever copied, searchable, with syntax highlighting and filters like has:secret, type:json, from:slack. This is the part other clipboard managers do too. But usually they stop at finding the copy. With Zmina you can run actions on anything in the list.

No AI. Just old-school algorithms and regexes, a lot of different rules - almost forgotten knowledge :) That's why it's instant and uses almost no CPU or memory. Nothing you copy leaves your Mac, and there's no account.

14-day full trial, then $35 once. Not a subscription. PH20 takes 20% off through September 30.

Honestly, this idea is not easy to present. When I showed the first demo video to someone, they didn't understand what was going on at all :) So I'd really like to know whether it lands for you.

Ask me anything - architecture, what's next, or specific actions you'd like added. Paste Stack and folders/categories are next on my list.
