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.
