description: "A ground-up rewrite whose new filters transform a clipping with text rules or a shell script, previewable before you commit and chainable together."
---

The filters are the reason to look. Transform a clipping with text rules or an actual shell script, watch the effect previewed on the selected clipping before you commit to it, bind it to a key, then chain filters so one shortcut runs several in order. Copy a stack of things and paste them back in sequence with ⌃⌘V. Shortcuts and a CLI both reach the store. macOS 26 only.
