Stash now keeps itself up to date, and saving history is dramatically lighter.
Automatic updates
- Stash checks for new versions once a day and verifies each update's signature before installing.
- New versions appear as a small badge in Stash rather than a pop-up. Choose to install them automatically in Settings → About.
- The update check is the only thing Stash sends over the network: a request to GitHub for the list of signed releases. It never includes your clips or anything that identifies you, and you can turn it off.
- This is the last version you need to install by hand. Future versions arrive automatically.
Faster, lighter history
- Each copy used to rewrite your entire history, images included. Now Stash writes only the new clip. On a 30 MB history, that is about 74 times less data written per copy.
- History takes less space on disk.
- Your existing history moves to the new format automatically the first time 1.0.5 opens.
Requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later.
Install
Download Stash-1.0.5-arm64.dmg below, open it, and drag Stash into Applications.
Or use Homebrew:
brew tap augmentedmode/stash
brew install --cask augmentedmode/stash/stashExisting Homebrew users: quit Stash, then run:
brew update
brew upgrade --cask augmentedmode/stash/stashClipboard history and preferences are preserved when upgrading. Quick Paste and window titles optionally require Accessibility permission.
Verification
Fresh macOS download checks passed on macOS 14, 15, and 26: Homebrew installation, signature and stapled ticket validation, Gatekeeper acceptance, normal/demo process startup, and uninstall. The update feed's EdDSA signature was verified against the downloaded DMG, and a local end-to-end test confirmed that Sparkle installs a validly signed update and rejects a tampered one. Interactive permissions and paste behavior are not covered by these tests.
