The clipboard that knows where you're pasting.

Where it counts, yes: nothing you copy ever leaves your machine. The transform engine runs on your device, your clipboard history stays on your disk, and there is no account. Zmina's only outbound activity is the update cycle. It checks releases.zmina.app for a newer version and any security advisory, and by default downloads and installs new versions. The requests carry nothing about you. The app discloses this the first time you run it. Turn it off and Zmina makes no network request on its own. A manual "Check for updates" button stays in Settings, so opting out never costs you access to a security advisory.

You can run the full app free for 14 days, every feature unlocked, no card required. If you buy and change your mind, write us within 14 days and we'll refund you, no questions asked.

Yes, 30% off. Write to support@zmina.app from your university address and we'll send you a code. That is the whole process: no form, nothing to upload, and the code goes back to the address you wrote from.

If your school doesn't give you an email address, tell us where you study and we'll sort it out.

If your clipboard manager already does what you need, keep it. Zmina does one thing most of them don't: it offers to change what you copied to suit where it's going. Raycast is a broad launcher with a clipboard feature. Zmina is focused on that one thing, keeps everything on your device, and is a one-time purchase. We keep an honest side-by-side on the comparison page.

macOS is the only platform today. Zmina is built in Rust with Tauri so Windows can follow without a rewrite, but it is not in development yet. Linux is a possibility, further out. If they do ship, buying now covers them. There is no extra charge to move your license between platforms.

Site detection works in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and Opera, using macOS accessibility.

Firefox and browsers built on it (such as Zen) do not expose the address bar to macOS accessibility, and Arc shows the address in a way Zmina does not read. In those browsers Zmina knows which app you are pasting into, but not which site. Clipboard history and Smart Paste still work normally.

No. Your purchase is a perpetual license that includes every future update at no extra cost, with no version cut-off. A future v2 would not be a paid upgrade for you. New revenue comes from new customers and from optional add-ons you can buy later if you want them, not from switching you to a subscription.

The app is a commercial product and is not open source. The privacy claims do not depend on trusting us. Point any traffic monitor at Zmina and everything it fetches is documented and identifier-free, matching what's written here. All of it comes from releases.zmina.app: the version manifest, the security advisory, and the signed release itself, only when there is a newer version. None of it carries anything about you. Turn update checks off and you will see nothing until you press check yourself.

It keeps working. Zmina checks your license on your own Mac, not on a server. Your history is a database on your own disk. There is no account to lose.

You can take everything with you whenever you like. Settings → Privacy writes your whole history to one JSON file. That export is also on the trial-expired screen.

What you would lose is new versions. Everything you already have keeps working.

Keep your license file. It is what you use to activate Zmina again if you reinstall or move to a new Mac.

Zmina comes from Ukrainian "зміна" (change, transformation, shift). Stress falls on the first syllable, roughly ZMEE-nuh. The meaning is the point: the app changes text as it moves between apps.
