Quick Actions

Context-aware actions that appear based on what you copy.

What Are Quick Actions?

Superclip analyzes your clipboard content and surfaces relevant actions in the preview panel. Copy a hex color and you can convert it to RGB. Copy JSON and you can pretty print it. No extra tools needed.

Supported Content Types

Colors

Detected formats: hex (#3b82f6), RGB (rgb(59, 130, 246)), and HSL (hsl(217, 91%, 60%)).

Actions:

  • Copy as Hex
  • Copy as RGB
  • Copy as HSL

A color swatch is displayed alongside the detected value. Color items also show a tint of the parsed color on their card in the history.

JSON

Detected when content starts with { or [ and is valid JSON.

Actions:

  • Pretty Print — reformats with indentation
  • Minify — compresses to a single line

Email Addresses

Detected via standard email patterns.

Actions:

  • Compose in Mail — opens a new email
  • Copy address

Phone Numbers

Detected via common phone number formats.

Actions:

  • Call — opens the dialer
  • Copy number

Code

Detected via syntax heuristics (multi-line structured text with code patterns).

Actions:

  • Copy code

File Paths

Detected Unix-style paths starting with / or ~.

Actions:

  • Reveal in Finder
  • Copy path

Where Quick Actions Appear

Quick actions are shown in two places:

  1. Preview panel — the Quick Actions bar appears below the content preview when actions are available
  2. Context menu — right-click a card to see available quick actions

Smart Filters

Superclip also auto-tags items using these same detection heuristics. The filter bar at the top of the drawer lets you narrow your history by content type: Links, Images, Files, Code, Colors, Emails, JSON, and Phones.
