macOS × Xiaomi HyperOS

Your Mac. Your Xiaomi.
One connected clipboard.

Copy on your Mac, paste on your Xiaomi phone—and bring text back the other way. File sharing, screenshots and annotations, all in your menu bar.

Free to use · Apple Silicon / Intel · No extra phone app

Less switching. More doing.

Three everyday tasks. Fewer detours.

01

Two-way text clipboard

Links, codes and short notes. Sync plain text both ways and keep using the copy-and-paste shortcuts you already know.

02

Share files from Finder

Select files in Finder, choose Clip 分享 from the Share menu, then click a device. Send files back from your phone’s system share sheet.

03

Capture, annotate, copy

Select a region, draw boxes, add text or redact details. Capture scrolling content, then copy a PNG for compatible apps on your phone.

Capture / Annotate / Share

Show exactly what you mean.

Press ⌃ Control + ⌘ Command + A to capture. Move or resize the selection; the tools stay right beside it.

Annotate in place

Rectangles, multiline text and opaque redaction, with adjustable colors, stroke widths and text sizes. Undo and redo included.

Capture beyond one screen

Start scrolling capture, then scroll slowly in the original app. Pauses trigger stitching; uncertain matches keep the existing capture and show a hint.

Copy or save

Copy a PNG into the image-sync workflow, or save a PNG without changing the clipboard. macOS screen-recording permission is required for capture.

Small app. Familiar workflow.

In your menu bar.
In your phone’s share sheet.

Skip the chat window just to send yourself a sentence.

Use the same local network, enable phone interconnectivity and connect with the same Xiaomi account. Mi Clip discovers devices automatically and retries when a connection drops.

To send a file to your Mac, look for “Clip” in the phone’s system share sheet. Received files go to Downloads; existing files are never overwritten.

A few things before you start

Which devices have been tested?

Two-way text, file receiving and selected image transfers have been verified on an Intel Mac and one Xiaomi phone running HyperOS 3. Apple Silicon builds are available. Other systems, models and tablets still need real-device validation; discovery alone does not guarantee feature compatibility.

Does my phone need another app?

No extra phone app is needed. Use the phone’s built-in interconnectivity features, keep both devices on the same local network and authorize the connection with the same Xiaomi account.

What can the clipboard sync?

Plain UTF-8 text syncs both ways, up to 3,072 bytes per update. Images and regular files copied on the Mac can be fetched by compatible phone apps. Automatically bringing phone-copied images or files into the Mac clipboard, rich text and folders are not supported.

Does my content go to a cloud service?

Clipboard and file contents travel between devices on the local network; screenshots are processed on the Mac. Account authorization requires internet access. Release builds send anonymous usage events without clipboard text, filenames or device addresses. Set MICLIP_NO_ANALYTICS=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to disable them.

Is Mi Clip an official Xiaomi app?

Mi Clip is an independently developed, unofficial client, not a Xiaomi product. It does not load Xiaomi’s official libraries at runtime and uses existing phone capabilities. Compatibility may change with system updates.
