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 | bash

Or with the DMG:

  1. Download ClipKeep.dmg below, open it, and drag ClipKeep onto Applications.
  2. Open ClipKeep. It isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer ID, so macOS says it "could not verify" it. Click Done.
  3. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway next to ClipKeep, and enter your password.
  4. 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.
