Your PC habits,
at home on Mac.

DejaPC brings back the Windows behaviours switchers miss — file cut & paste, window snapping, clipboard history, Ctrl shortcuts and more — as one tidy, toggleable menu-bar app.

Free · Requires macOS 15+ · Apple silicon & Intel

Everything you reach for, in one app

Turn on only what you want — each feature is independent and lives in the menu bar.

✂️

File Cut & Paste

Press ⌘X on files in Finder, then ⌘V in another folder to move them — just like Windows.

Window Snapping

Drag a window to an edge or corner to tile it — halves, quarters, maximize, plus snap layouts.

📋

Clipboard History

A searchable history of everything you copy. Pick and paste from a list — the Win+V you miss.

Ctrl Shortcuts

Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V / Ctrl+Z keep working from muscle memory. Terminals and IDEs stay untouched.

📄

Finder Actions

New File, Copy Path, and Open in Terminal — from the right-click menu or a shortcut.

🧺

Drop Shelf

Shake a drag to pop open a floating shelf. Park files there, then drag them into any app.

🖼️

Dock Peek

Hover a Dock icon to preview and switch between that app's windows with live thumbnails.

🎨

Color Picker

Pick any colour on screen with a magnifier and copy it as HEX, RGB, or HSL.

🔠

Text Extractor

Drag a box over anything — an image, a video, a locked PDF — and copy the text inside (OCR).

🔍

Magnifier

A zoom lens that follows your cursor — toggle it to inspect fine detail or small text.

👀

Awake

Keep your Mac awake on demand — for a set time or until you turn it off. No settings to fiddle.

🧹

Paste as Plain Text

A hotkey that pastes your clipboard with all fonts, colours, and styles stripped away.

🖱️

Mouse Tools

Find your cursor with a spotlight (double-tap Ctrl) and toggle crosshairs that track it.

📐

Image Resizer

Drop images and batch-resize them to a preset or custom size — saved next to the originals.

🌅

Daily Wallpaper

Freshen your desktop with a new wallpaper every day from Bing or Unsplash.

Installing

Download, drag DejaPC into Applications, and open it from the menu bar.

First launch: because DejaPC isn't yet notarized by Apple, macOS asks you to confirm the first time. Just right-click the app → Open (you only do this once). Or, in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DejaPC.app

DejaPC keeps itself up to date automatically — new versions download and install in the background, and you can always check from the app's General settings.
