Copycat

Chrome & Firefox Extension

Your snippets, one shortcut away. Copycat is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that keeps the text you type over and over, like links, emails, addresses and canned replies, in a searchable list. Find it and copy it in two keystrokes.

About Copycat

Most of us retype the same handful of things every day: a meeting link, a work email, a shipping address, a support reply. Copycat gives them a home right in the browser toolbar.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Y (⌘+Shift+Y on Mac), type a few letters, and press Enter. The value is on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere. There’s no account and no sign-up, and your entries never leave your device.

Key Features

  • Instant search across thousands of entries
  • Keyboard-first: open, search, select and copy without touching the mouse
  • Add and edit entries inline in Settings, and press Enter to save
  • Import and export CSV for backups or moving between computers, with replace, append or merge options

Privacy
