A good utility knows when to leave.

No automatic replacement

Verba never edits your writing behind your back. Review first, then choose what to copy.

Native from menu bar to result

Built for macOS with familiar controls, system permissions, and a genuinely lightweight footprint.

Think in one place.

Verba is ready whenever your words need a little help.
