ClipKeep 1.2.1

A small menu bar clipboard manager for macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon and Intel).

What's new in 1.2.1

• Accessibility permission now survives updates. ClipKeep is signed with a stable certificate, so macOS keeps recognising it after every update.
• Live Accessibility status: Settings → Pasting switches to "Allowed" the moment access is granted, and explains what to do if an old entry is stuck, with an Open Settings button.

One last time after updating to 1.2.1: if pasting for you stops working, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, select ClipKeep, click −, then click Grant Access… in ClipKeep's Settings → Pasting. From 1.2.1 on, this won't be needed after updates.

Already using ClipKeep? Right-click the menu bar icon → Check for Updates…, or Settings → 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.
