Product Introduction

Clarity and control for repeated work.

Fbloc is a lightweight macOS application designed to bring clarity and control to the way you manage frequently used text and links.

Whether you are working with code, emails, or research, Fbloc keeps your most important content within reach, always available from the menu bar and ready when you need it.

It stays small, predictable, and useful. Save it once, find it instantly, and move on without breaking focus.

  • Native menu bar access to saved snippets and links
  • Stored locally by default with iCloud sync
  • URL shortening through Burzcast or custom YOURLS
  • No accounts, no unnecessary complexity

Features

Built for fast, everyday work.

From quick clipboard capture to sync, every part of Fbloc is designed to stay calm, native, and predictable.

Menu Bar Experience

Always within reach.

Fbloc lives in your menu bar, giving you instant access to your favorite snippets and links. No windows to manage. No interruptions. Copy, open, or save new items in seconds without leaving your current workflow.

Snippets

Snippets, without friction.

Save any text from your clipboard and reuse it instantly. Organize snippets, mark favorites, and access them anywhere. Stored locally and synced through iCloud. Fast, predictable, and distraction-free.

URL Management

Links, properly managed.

Save links and access them instantly. Open URLs directly in your browser. Copy original or processed versions. Keep everything structured, readable, and easy to find.

Smart Titles

Readable by default.

Fbloc automatically retrieves page titles when adding a URL, suggests clean human-readable names, and lets you edit everything at any time. If a title is unavailable, it falls back gracefully.

URL Shortening

Short links, on your terms.

  • Optional URL shortening before saving
  • Built-in Burzcast Short URL support
  • Custom YOURLS server support with secure credential storage in macOS Keychain
  • Automatic fallback to the original URL if shortening fails

Privacy

Privacy, by design.

  • No advertising, no user accounts
  • Data stored locally by default, with iCloud sync via Apple CloudKit
  • Optional shortening through Burzcast or your own YOURLS workflow
Read the Privacy Policy

Sensitive Content

Careful with what matters.

  • Detects password-like or sensitive text before saving
  • Displays a warning for potentially sensitive data
  • Marks sensitive items visually and hides them by default, with full user-controlled visibility

Library Management

Organized without effort.

  • Search snippets and URLs independently
  • Filter all items, favorites, and non-favorites
  • Sort newest first or oldest first, with favorites always easy to reach

iCloud Sync

Sync when you want it.

Fbloc supports synchronization via Apple iCloud using the CloudKit private database. Burzcast does not have access to synced data, and the app falls back gracefully to local-only mode if iCloud is unavailable. Sync status is shown clearly in Settings.

Quick Access

The essentials, exactly where you expect them.

  • Favorite URLs shown at the top
  • Favorite snippets listed below
  • Instant copy from a single click
  • Quick actions for Add URL, Add Snippet, Open Library, Open Settings, and Quit

App Experience

Native, fast, and out of the way.

Fbloc uses a native macOS interface with an Apple-style sidebar and layout. It stays lightweight and responsive, with no learning curve and no clutter, just a practical tool that disappears into your workflow.
