wtf is maccy?

Maccy is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS. When you copy text, images, or other content, your Mac normally remembers only the last thing you copied. Maccy keeps a running history of everything you have copied and gives you quick access to any of those previous items through a searchable pop-up menu you trigger with a keyboard shortcut (Shift + Command + C by default). The workflow is simple: press the shortcut, type a few characters to search your copy history, then press Enter to copy the selected item again or Option + Enter to paste it directly. You can also pin items to keep them permanently at the top of the list, paste without formatting to strip rich text styles, and delete individual items from history. The app sits in the menu bar so it is always accessible without interrupting your work. Maccy is designed with privacy in mind. It automatically ignores clipboard content marked as transient or concealed, including password manager entries from apps like 1Password and KeeWeb, so sensitive data does not end up in your history. You can also temporarily disable history capture when copying sensitive data and re-enable it afterward. It is available as a free download from GitHub releases or via the Homebrew package manager, requires macOS Sonoma 14 or higher, and is written in Swift with a native macOS interface. The project is open source under the MIT license.
