About Buffer
Buffer 3.0 is a powerful, open-source clipboard manager designed specifically for macOS users seeking a private and efficient way to handle their copied content. It automatically saves everything you copy—be it text, links, or images—into a searchable local history, accessible with a simple shortcut. Unique to Buffer is its on-device Vision OCR, which enables users to extract and search text from screenshots directly within the app. The interface supports inline editing of saved snippets and offers organizational tools like tags, bookmarks, and multi-select pasting, making content management seamless. New features in version 3.0 include an interactive image canvas, unlimited history tiers, and noise suppression to ensure a clutter-free clipboard experience. With no cloud dependency and no need for accounts, Buffer prioritizes user privacy while providing robust functionality for power users, developers, and content creators alike.
