Ember

Nothing you copy
goes missing again.

Ember is a clipboard for Mac that keeps everything — text, links, images, files, colors — and hands it back a keystroke later. It picks colors off your screen and builds palettes too, so one app covers what usually takes three.

Ember’s workbench open along the bottom of a Mac desktop, showing recent colors, palettes, links, text captures and images, each labelled with the app it came from.

It's all still there

Everything you copy is kept — an hour ago, last Tuesday, before lunch. Nothing quietly falls off the end.

Find it in a second

One shortcut, then type. Search everything you've ever copied without leaving the app you're in.

More than text

Links, images, files, SVG, rich text and colors — each one kept as what it actually is, not flattened to a string.

One app, not three

Clipboard, color picker and palettes in one place, so your workflow doesn't need a stack of apps to hold together.

THE WORKBENCH

One shortcut, and everything you've picked, copied or imported is right there — colors, palettes, whole projects — over whatever app you're already in.

No window to switch to. No need to open the full app to find a palette or check a project. It comes to you, does what you need, and gets out of the way when you're done.

Colors, off any pixel on screen

Press a shortcut, click a pixel, and the color lands straight in the workbench — already in the format your work uses.

Palettes out of images and websites

Paste a website or drop in an image, and what Ember finds lands in the workbench too — ready to keep or turn into a palette.
