Clipman 1.8.1

What's new in Clipman 1.8.1

• Windows now honors clipboard privacy signals before automatic capture.
• Clipboard updates marked with Clipboard Viewer Ignore, ExcludeClipboardContentFromMonitorProcessing, CanIncludeInClipboardHistory set to zero, or CanUploadToCloudClipboard set to zero are excluded from Clipman's text and file history.
• When sounds are enabled, privacy-signal exclusions play the exclude sound.

This is a cooperative privacy improvement: it helps with apps and password managers that mark their own clipboard data as not suitable for history or sync. If an app places only ordinary text on the clipboard with no privacy signal, Clipman cannot reliably distinguish password-field text from normal copied text.

Clipman 1.8.0

What's new in Clipman 1.8.0

• Added Sensitive Data preferences for automatic clipboard text capture. The feature is off by default; when set to Exclude from history, checked presets are not stored in Clipman history and the system clipboard or Mac pasteboard is left unchanged.
• Built-in sensitive-data presets now include credit card numbers with Luhn validation, US Social Security numbers, international phone numbers, long API keys/tokens, software license keys, and approximate US driver-license shapes.
• Added exclude.wav as a dedicated sound for sensitive-data exclusions, with fallback to skip.wav when the custom or bundled exclude sound is missing.
• Improved template entries with Insert sample and Insert field commands in Entry Properties on Windows and Mac.
• The manual now includes a Sensitive Data Exclusions section with harmless copy-button test values so users can confirm their selected presets and exclude sound.

Issue #8 remains open and reviewed because it still needs a runtime crash log if it happens again. Issue #13 is addressed by the built-in preset/exclude workflow in this release; custom patterns and prompt mode were intentionally left for future consideration.

Clipman 1.7.2

What's new in Clipman 1.7.2

• Improved temporarily unavailable shared-folder handling for cloud folders, network shares, and mounted NAS drives.
• If storage disappears during background clipboard capture, Clipman no longer shows blocking storage alerts or plays the success sound for a failed write.
• On Mac, Clipman pauses monitoring, keeps the status menu usable, and offers Retry Storage until the data folder returns.
• On Windows, the notification-area tooltip and menu report unavailable storage and offer Retry storage.

Issue #8 remains open and reviewed because it still needs a runtime crash log if it happens again.

Clipman 1.7.1

What's new in Clipman 1.7.1

• Fixed encrypted .clipdb import into an empty or unencrypted session by asking for the selected import file's password instead of failing silently.
• Added export password choices for .clipdb backups: use the current history password, set a new export-only password, or export without a password. When the current history is password protected, Clipman requires the current history password before creating any .clipdb export.
• Fixed Mac .clipdb export filenames so the save dialog no longer produces duplicated .clipdb.clipdb names.
• Updated the Windows and Mac documentation so Mac is described as a full app and the import/export password behavior is clear.

Issue #8 remains open and reviewed because it still needs a runtime crash log if it happens again.

Clipman 1.7.0

What's new in Clipman 1.7.0

• Added template entries. Mark a text entry as a template in Entry Properties and Clipman resolves date, time, timezone, operating system, and username variables when the entry is copied or quick-pasted.
• Added template preview and template-variable reference controls to Entry Properties.
• Kept template text literal in shared history, exports, search, and Entry Properties, so the stored entry stays reusable while copied/pasted output resolves at the moment you use it.
• Added shared Windows/Mac template status support so synced databases preserve template entries across both platforms.
• Clarified custom sound overrides: put replacement WAV files in the active data/settings folder's sounds subfolder, and missing custom sounds fall back to the bundled defaults.

Closes issue #12. Issue #8 remains open and reviewed because it still needs a runtime crash log if it happens again.

Clipman 1.6.6

What's new in Clipman 1.6.6

• Relaxed global hotkey validation for compatibility with shortcuts such as Ctrl+grave.
• One-modifier hotkeys are now allowed for function keys and grave/backslash-style punctuation keys.
• Single-modifier letters, numbers, comma, and unsafe operating-system shortcuts remain blocked.
• Clipman now warns before saving a single-modifier global hotkey because it may conflict with another app or keyboard layout.

Issue #8 remains open and reviewed because it needs a runtime crash log if it happens again.

Clipman 1.6.5

What's New in Clipman 1.6.5

• Improved ignored-application matching so related helper windows and helper processes can be ignored when they use the same app name or bundle/process prefix.
• Fixed Mac Preferences so standard edit shortcuts such as Command+V work in settings text fields.
• Clarified Mac Preferences password status so users can tell whether the selected history database is encrypted and whether the password is saved in Keychain.
• Added Push to other machines for selected text entries. This lets an existing history entry be sent as a fresh shared event so other opted-in machines can receive it on their clipboard.

Downloads:

• Clipman-1.6.5.zip: Windows portable build.
• ClipmanMac-1.6.5.zip: macOS tester build.

Clipman 1.6.4

What's new in 1.6.4

• Improved Windows updates so the factory sounds folder is updated file-by-file instead of being deleted and replaced as one folder. This should make updates less fragile in cloud-synced folders where OneDrive or another sync client may briefly lock the folder.

Note: if an existing install is already failing while updating from an older updater, one manual extract-over-the-top or briefly pausing the sync client may still be needed once to get onto this fixed updater.

Clipman 1.6.3

What's new in 1.6.3

• Improved Windows updates so Clipman no longer creates an empty app-root Backups folder when no user files need preserving.
• Added runtime crash logging so silent exits can be diagnosed more easily. Windows writes beside the app in Logs\Runtime.log; Mac writes to Clipman's Application Support log folder.

This does not close issue #8 yet; it adds logging intended to help capture the cause if the silent exit happens again.

Clipman 1.6.2

What's new in Clipman 1.6.2

• Hotkey fields can now be cleared with Delete or Backspace.
• Windows hotkey capture now supports Windows-key combinations where Windows allows them.
• Windows hotkey fields are no longer exposed to screen readers as read-only controls.
• Clearing a Quick Paste hotkey now removes that assignment instead of leaving the dialog in a validation trap.
• Mac Entry Properties now lets Tab and Shift+Tab leave the clipboard text editor instead of inserting tab characters into the stored text.
