ClipKeep 1.2.0
A small menu bar clipboard manager for macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon and Intel).
What's new in 1.2.0
- Tabbed Settings: Settings is now a Mac-style window with General, Pasting, Privacy and Updates tabs. Pasting shows whether ClipKeep has Accessibility access, and Updates links to the release notes.
- Clear History: a new trash button in the history window (and a Clear History button in Settings → General) deletes all clips at once. It asks first, keeps your pinned clips, and esc cancels.
- Clickable shortcut hints: the Paste, Pin, Delete and Close hints at the bottom of the history window are now buttons, so you can use them with the mouse too.
- New home: ClipKeep now lives at HBL-LL/ClipKeep. Updates and the install script use the new address.
Already using ClipKeep? Open Settings → Updates and click Check for Updates, or right-click the menu bar icon → Check for Updates.
Install
Quickest: open Terminal and paste this line. It downloads ClipKeep, checks it, puts it in Applications and opens it, with no security warning:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HBL-LL/ClipKeep/main/install.sh | bashOr with the DMG:
- Download ClipKeep.dmg below, open it, and drag ClipKeep onto Applications.
- Open ClipKeep. It isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer ID, so macOS says it "could not verify" it. Click Done.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway next to ClipKeep, and enter your password.
- Open ClipKeep again and confirm. You only have to do this once.
ClipKeep lives in the menu bar. Press ⇧⌘V or click its icon to open your clipboard history. To let it paste for you, allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
ClipKeep.zip contains the same app; the in-app updater uses it.
