EasyCopy

EasyCopy is a macOS menu bar Tauri app for saving links and copying them quickly.

I came up with this idea because I was constantly having to go to my browser search bar and type in the first few characters of URLs just to trigger autocomplete so I could copy/paste a URL that I needed.

This app was originally built with Electron, then migrated to Tauri to dramatically reduce the app size from about 300MB down to about 9MB!

Download and install (recommended)

Download the latest .dmg from GitHub Releases and install EasyCopy:

https://github.com/colinfran/easy-copy/releases

Run locally (development)

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Start the app:

npm run tauri:dev

npm run tauri:dev runs the React/Tailwind frontend and launches the Tauri app shell.

Build it yourself (macOS)

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Build a distributable .dmg:

npm run tauri:build:mac

Output files are written to src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.
