Deftbox. Finder, keyboard, mouse & clipboard — supercharged.
A native macOS utility for Finder, input sources, mouse controls and clipboard history. Everything runs locally. Just about 7 MB to download — lightweight and easy on your storage.
What Deftbox does
Deftbox is a native macOS utility for the small frictions of everyday Mac work: creating a file where you need it, opening it in the right tool, switching input sources between apps, getting more out of an ordinary mouse, and finding something you copied ten minutes ago. Instead of four menu-bar apps, it's one.
Everything runs locally. There are no accounts, no sync servers, and no telemetry — Deftbox is sandboxed, reviewed by Apple, and sold only through the Mac App Store. It requires macOS 26.0 or later.
FINDER
New files, copied paths, one right-click.
Create text, Markdown and Office files from Finder. Open files or folders in your preferred app and copy paths for Codex or Claude Code.

KEYBOARD · INPUT METHOD
Your input source, set for each app.
Assign an input source to each app and let Deftbox switch when that app becomes active. Website rules can also match domains and subdomains in supported browsers, after you enable website switching and grant Automation access.
Automatic input source switching
MOUSE
Your mouse, redesigned.
Assign custom shortcuts to the middle and side buttons, or hold a button and drag to trigger an action. Adjust wheel scrolling speed, acceleration and smoothness, reverse either axis, and disable scrolling enhancements in selected apps.
Smooth scrolling, mouse buttons & gestures
CLIPBOARD
Your clipboard history, a shortcut away.
Keep text, images and file references in local clipboard history. Press ⌥⌘V by default, search text and file paths, filter by type, and pin items you reuse. With automatic paste enabled and permission granted, Enter or ⌘1–9 pastes into the previous app.
