## About

Cue is a macOS clipboard that keeps your history and chooses the part of a copied message that fits the focused field. Copy a complete message, then use smart paste to extract an email address, phone number, URL, code or other matching value. It can also fill forms by pasting, pressing Tab and deciding again.

Cue runs from the menu bar, with shortcuts for smart paste, plain paste, history search and queues. Password fields stay unread, history remains on your Mac, and remote providers can receive redacted placeholders instead of names or contact details. Local models can run on the Mac, while model-free use falls back to plain paste.
