Pasteback 1.1.0

Command line access to your clipboard history.

New pasteback command (installed by the Homebrew cask; also inside the app bundle at Pasteback.app/Contents/MacOS/pasteback-cli):

pasteback list [count] [--json]    newest first; index 0 = most recent; * marks pinned
pasteback get <index>              print one item's full content to stdout

Text and links print exactly what was copied — pipe or redirect them like pbpaste. File references print one path per line. Images write raw bytes (redirect to a file). --json gives machine-readable entries.

Design note: the CLI never decrypts anything itself. It talks to the running app over a local user-only socket in the storage folder; the app is the only process that touches the encrypted store and the Keychain. The app must be running.

Install/upgrade (unsigned build — strip quarantine after):

brew upgrade --cask UnsaltedHash42/tap/pasteback
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pasteback.app

6 new IPC tests; 63 total.

Pasteback 1.0.1

Hotkey customization update.

• New setting: enable/disable the global hotkey entirely
• Failed hotkey changes now keep the previous hotkey working (Settings shows a warning instead of leaving you with nothing)
• Registered hotkey is logged at activation for supportability
• Verified live: customized hotkeys load from settings at launch; disabled mode registers nothing

Install (unsigned build — strip quarantine after install):

brew install --cask UnsaltedHash42/tap/pasteback
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pasteback.app

Pasteback 1.0.0

First release.

• Menu bar clipboard history: text, rich text (as plain text), URLs, images, file references
• Restore on click; pin, delete, search; global hotkey (default ⌃⇧⌘C, changeable in Settings)
• AES-256-GCM encrypted local storage; key held in the login Keychain; nothing in plaintext on disk
• Retention by kind (text 1 h, images/files 1 d by default); likely secrets expire in 30 s; pinned items never expire
• Launch at login via SMAppService; Sparkle update checks are user-initiated only (feed placeholder until a real one is hosted)
• No cloud, accounts, analytics, or telemetry

IMPORTANT — unsigned build: this release is adhoc-signed (no Developer ID / notarization yet). Homebrew quarantines cask downloads, and macOS runs quarantined un-notarized apps with restricted capabilities, which breaks clipboard capture and local storage. After installing, strip the quarantine attribute:

brew install --cask UnsaltedHash42/tap/pasteback
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pasteback.app

Re-run the xattr line after each brew upgrade. For a direct zip download, unzip to /Applications and run the same xattr line.

Notarization is planned once a Developer ID certificate is in place (#1); after that no extra step will be needed.
