A macOS menubar clipboard manager with file support.
The menu bar item menu shows the clipboard history. The app tries to reconstruct the clipboard state as closely as possible. Therefore, the app supports a wide variety of formats, e.g.
- Files
- Multiple files
- Directories
- Web images
- Text
Files have a little icon representing the file type, and web images have a little preview icon.
The standard version makes use of APIs that are only available on MacOS13 and later. An older version for earlier versions of MacOS is included in the MacOS12 branches. The older version has fewer features, e.g. no start at login via app preferences.
You can compile the app yourself using xcode xcodebuild -configuration Release or you can download a compiled version from releases.
Why is the clipboard history incomplete?
There are three possibilities:
- The app was not running. ClipBoardManager can only record the clipboard if it is running.
- If you copy faster than the refresh interval, the app is not able to save the state of the clipboard. You can reduce the refresh interval in the preferences.
- The app crashed or was forcefully closed. On closing, the app will write the clipboard history to disk, so it can be retrieved on the next startup.
