ClipKeep 1.3.0

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

What's new in 1.3.0

• Edit clips: select a text clip and press ⌘E, click Edit at the bottom of the history window, or right-click it → Edit…. Change the text right in the window, then press ⌘↩ to save or esc to cancel. Copy, paste, select all and undo work while editing.
• Edited clips keep their place, pin and source app. Saving keeps the plain text and drops any formatting. Image clips can't be edited.

Already using ClipKeep? Open Settings → Updates and click Check for Updates, or right-click the menu bar icon → Check for Updates.

After updating to 1.3.0, allow Accessibility once more: 1.3.0 is signed with a new certificate, so macOS sees it as a new app. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, remove the old ClipKeep entry with −, and turn ClipKeep back on. Future updates keep the permission.

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.
