Mochi v2.2

Mochi v2.2

Released July 21, 2026

What’s new

• Fixed an issue where dragging an image could make copied text disappear.
• Clipboard screenshots now appear in the image grid alongside files from Downloads.
• Clipboard images and downloaded images are ordered together by recency.
• PNG and TIFF clipboard images can be selected, annotated with copied text, and dragged into other apps just like downloaded images.
• Mochi keeps up to 16 clipboard images for the current session and removes their temporary files automatically.
• A persistent Show clipboard images switch is available directly in the menu bar menu and in Settings.
• Turning clipboard images off immediately clears the session’s captured images and stops collecting new ones; Downloads images continue to work normally.
• The Settings… menu command now opens the native Settings window reliably.

Notes

• Clipboard-image history is session-only and is not restored after Mochi quits.
• Mochi continues to require macOS 13 or later.
• This build is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Read ① Read Before Installing.html before first launch.

Mochi v2.1

Mochi v2.1 adds an image-aware clipboard workspace and more reliable, privacy-conscious Downloads access.

Highlights

• Capture, edit, copy, and delete reusable text snippets alongside selected images.
• Configure the maximum number of clipboard text rows.
• Select the Downloads folder once and restore sandboxed, read-only access on future launches.
• Faster and more resilient recent-image scanning, including broader image format detection.
• Updated English and Simplified Chinese localization, with English as the default language.

Install

1. Download Mochi-v2.1-macOS-universal.zip and unzip it.
2. Move Mochi.app to Applications.
3. Open Mochi and select your Downloads folder when prompted.

This build is ad-hoc signed. On first launch, Control-click Mochi.app, choose Open, and confirm if macOS blocks a normal double-click.
