Zmina waitlist · open

A clipboard that knows
where you're going.

Copy a URL with tracking junk, paste into a message, and Zmina offers to strip it clean. Copy code from your terminal, paste into chat, and Zmina offers to wrap it as a codeblock. Copy a log line with a secret in it, and Zmina offers to redact the token before you paste. One keystroke. The right shape for where it's going.

Launching Summer 2026 · macOS first, Windows to follow · Built in Rust with Tauri.

See it in motion

Watch Smart Paste work.

Two examples, same shortcut. Pick one:

Share a failing JSON payload in Slack, prettified, with the token redacted. One keystroke.

What it does, concretely

One example, in text.

Redact a secret before it leaves your machine.

From a log file

ERROR: connection failed
  host: db.internal.acme.io
  token: ghp_x9K2mP8nQ7vR4wF1
  retry: 3/5

Into a bug report

ERROR: connection failed
  host: db.internal.acme.io
  token: [GH_TOKEN]
  retry: 3/5

Zmina catches the token automatically. The redaction preview shows what will change before you paste.

What's in v1

Smart Paste

A small palette opens next to your cursor with actions ranked for the current clipboard and the focused app. Number keys to pick. Enter to paste. Chain multiple actions. Live preview before you commit.

History

Everything you've copied, classified by type, searchable. Filter by type:url, from:safari, has:secret. Apply the same transforms to past items without a paste target. Useful for cleaning text before sharing.

Silent until summoned

Lives in your menu bar. Silent until you press the shortcut. No dock icon, no notifications, no nagging. Pause capture with one click when you're screen-sharing.

Not just for developers

You don't have to write code to want this.

Plenty of what Zmina cleans up has nothing to do with code:

  • · Strip the tracking junk off a link before you share it, so a clean URL lands in the message, not a trail of utm_* tags.
  • · Pull back something you copied an hour ago. It's all there, searchable by what it is: links, addresses, snippets.
  • · Scrub an email or phone number out of a block of text before you paste it into a form or a ticket.

The privacy part

What Zmina is not.

Clipboard tools see everything you copy. That has to come with a set of commitments, not a privacy policy with escape hatches. Here's the contract:

  • · No telemetry. Not opt-out. Not anonymized. Simply absent. No usage beacons, no feature-flag clients, no crash pingers, no session recorders.
  • · No accounts. Zmina works out of the box. We don't have a login because we don't have a backend.
  • · Fully offline. The transform engine runs in-process on your device. The single outbound request the app is capable of (checking for updates) is opt-in. Off until you turn it on.
  • · No cloud. Your clipboard history lives on your disk. Nothing is uploaded, mirrored, or backed up to a Zmina service, because there is no Zmina service.

And it's a one-time purchase: a lifetime license, all future updates free. No subscription, which also means no recurring-revenue pressure to ever start monetizing what you copy.
