Bug-fix release.

What's fixed

  • Image captures now work. Previously, copying an image (screenshot to clipboard, image from a browser, etc.) often produced no entry in the menu bar or picker. The pasteboard-reading code now inspects every known image UTI (.png, .tiff, public.jpeg, public.heic, public.image, etc.) and falls back through them, instead of relying on a single chained NSImage(pasteboard:) pathway that could silently bail.
  • Picker closes when you click outside. Previously you had to press Esc or pick an item. Now any click outside the picker dismisses it (Spotlight/Raycast-style).
  • File-URL detection now uses urlReadingFileURLsOnly so HTTP URLs from browser image copies don't get misclassified.

Install / upgrade

Smart Clipboard 0.1.0

First public release of Smart Clipboard — a native macOS menu-bar clipboard manager.

Install

  1. Download SmartClipboard-0.1.0.dmg below.
  2. Open the DMG, drag Smart Clipboard into Applications.
  3. First launch: right-click the app in Applications → Open. (The DMG is ad-hoc signed, not Developer-ID-notarized, so a normal double-click triggers Gatekeeper.)
  4. Look for the clipboard icon in your menu bar.

What's in 0.1.0

  • Native Swift/SwiftUI, ~5 MB binary, single process
  • Captures text, images, and file references to a local SQLite + FTS5 database
  • Menu-bar dropdown of starred + most-recent items
  • Global hotkey (default ⌘⇧V, rebindable) → non-activating Spotlight-style picker
  • clip CLI (clip list, clip search foo, clip 3) via URL scheme
  • Star / unstar items, never auto-evicted
  • Streamed JSON backup to a folder of your choice — point it at iCloud Drive / Dropbox / Google Drive for free cloud sync

Permissions

Permission What it's for
Accessibility Synthesize ⌘V into the focused app on Enter
Input Monitoring Global hotkey

Known tradeoffs

  • Captures everything, including passwords — no filtering of org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType
  • SQLite DB is unencrypted at rest
  • Ad-hoc signed, not notarized (right-click → Open the first time)
