Find the clip you meant, not just the one you remember word for word.

Deck searches clipboard history by meaning, not just exact text. On-device semantic search, OCR text extraction, content recognition, and precision filters work together so old clips are seconds away instead of lost.

Find anything you've copied

You copied a database connection string from Slack three days ago. You only remember it had something to do with the staging server. Type that into Deck and semantic search surfaces the exact snippet in under 2 seconds — no scrolling, no asking your teammate to resend it.

Before / After

From vague memory to exact result

The goal is getting a specific snippet back without reopening the source app or asking someone to resend it.

Without Deck

You remember the idea but not the exact string.
Old snippets are buried in a long chronological list.
Text inside screenshots and images is practically invisible.

With Deck

Type a rough description and Deck searches by meaning.
OCR and content recognition extend recall to images and structured data.
Add app, type, or date filters when you need to narrow further.

What makes recall feel immediate

Deck combines meaning-based search, OCR, content recognition, and precision filters in one flow — so finding old clips works the way your memory does.

Semantic Search

Describe the clip by intent instead of exact text. Deck reranks results by meaning, not just string matching.

OCR Text Extraction

Screenshots and images are no longer dead ends — their text is extracted and searchable automatically.

Smart Content Recognition

Deck identifies emails, URLs, code, IPs, and tokens so the right filters and actions show up faster.

Use cases

Developer

Find a staging database connection string copied from Slack three days ago.

Semantic search surfaces it in under 2 seconds.

Designer

Recover text that only exists inside a copied screenshot.

OCR extraction makes the image searchable like any text clip.

Support

Narrow hundreds of copied logs and URLs to the one from today.

Filters like /app and /date cut noise immediately.

Semantic search FAQ

Is Deck semantic search cloud-based?

No by default. Deck is designed as a local-first clipboard manager, so the core search pipeline is built to work on your Mac without a remote search service.

Can I still use exact or regex search?

Yes. Deck supports exact keyword search, regex, type filters, and semantic recall in the same workflow so you can choose the fastest method for each task.

Who benefits most from this feature?

People who copy a lot every day: developers, designers, researchers, support teams, and anyone juggling many short-lived snippets across apps.
