v1.0.0 — first public release
First public release of Clip-Board — a privacy-first clipboard history manager for macOS.
Highlights
- Encrypted at rest with AES-GCM-256, key stored in Keychain (
WhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly, non-syncable) - Configurable global hotkey with conflict detection against well-known macOS / app shortcuts (default ⌃⌥⌘V)
- Auto-paste synthesizes ⌘V into the previously focused app (requires Accessibility)
- Pinned items + 100-item rolling history
- 1-second hover opens a scrollable, text-selectable preview for long items
- No network code in the binary; only Apple-shipped frameworks
- Respects transient pasteboard markers (
org.nspasteboard.TransientType,ConcealedType,AutoGeneratedType) — password-manager safety - Per-item size cap (~100 K chars) keeps the encrypted store lean
- Schema-versioned storage with quarantine on corruption — failed decrypts don't silently destroy history
Install
- Download `Clip-Board.zip` below and unzip it.
- Drag `Clip Board.app` into `/Applications`.
- First launch: macOS Gatekeeper will warn — right-click the app → Open → Open.
- For auto-paste: grant Accessibility permission when prompted, or via right-click menu → Enable Auto-Paste….
Requirements
- macOS 14+
- The binary is ad-hoc signed. If you want notarized builds, see the project README — `./scripts/release.sh --notarize` with a Developer ID is all you need.
Verification
You can confirm there's no network code in the binary:
```
otool -L "Clip Board.app/Contents/MacOS/Clip Board"
```
You'll see only Apple system frameworks.
