Copy text.
Paste a card.

Peesuto is a clipboard app for the Mac. It sees what you copied (code, a chat, a table, a quote) and pastes it as a well-set image into whatever you are typing in. GIF and video too.

Still when your Mac is set to reduce motion.

Each of these was pasted from plain text.

It reads what you copied.

Words, names, numbers and order come from your text. Nothing is rewritten or made up; it is only set.

On your clipboard
func greet(_ name: String) -> String {
    "Hello, \(name)!"
}

print(greet("Peesuto"))
Pasted with ⌥V ↩Code card made from the text on the left.

Code. 24 languages highlighted, from the fence or detected. Long lines wrap; indentation holds.

Two keys to remember.

Both act on what you copied last.

  • ⌥V

    Paste as…

    A small chooser opens at your caret, with the card already drawn. One more key:

    ↩
    Image: a PNG, pasted into the app you are typing in
    G
    GIF: the same card, revealed line by line
    M
    Video: MP4, made with the ffmpeg on your Mac
    Q
    QR code: exactly the text you copied; never sent to a model
    P
    Pin to screen: floats above every window; drag, pinch to zoom, double-click to close
  • ⇧⌥V

    Clipboard history

    Everything you copied, encrypted on your Mac and searchable.

Image, GIF, video, QR code and pin can each get a direct shortcut in Settings › Shortcuts. They are unbound by default.

Nothing you copy leaves your Mac.

Unless you decide it should. No account, no telemetry, no analytics.

Questions.

Why does it ask for Accessibility access?

To paste into the app you are typing in, to open the chooser at your caret, and to check that the caret is still where you left it before pasting. Without the permission, copying and history still work; the result is copied and you press ⌘V yourself.

What leaves my Mac?

By default, nothing. Only if you set up an AI provider is copied text sent, with secrets redacted first, to that provider with your key. One offline switch in Settings stops all of it. The privacy policy lists every case.

Is AI required?

No. Local rules choose a template for everything. If you like, bring your own key and let Jev, a small model, choose the template and style, through TypeSafe, Vercel AI Gateway, OpenRouter or your own Cloudflare account. It picks presentation only; it never rewrites your text.

Do I need ffmpeg?

Only for MP4 video. Peesuto uses the ffmpeg already on your Mac (brew install ffmpeg) and does not bundle or install it. Images, GIFs and QR codes need nothing extra.

Which Macs does it run on?

Macs with Apple silicon, on macOS 13 Ventura or later.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Peesuto is free and MIT-licensed, and no feature is held back from the open-source build.

How do updates work?

Peesuto checks peesuto.com/appcast.xml once a day and offers signed updates (Sparkle); you can turn the check off in Settings › General. Versions 0.1.0 and 0.1.1 came before the updater, so update those once by hand. The changelog lists what changed.

Copy. ⌥V. Return.
