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

  1. Download `Clip-Board.zip` below and unzip it.
  2. Drag `Clip Board.app` into `/Applications`.
  3. First launch: macOS Gatekeeper will warn — right-click the app → OpenOpen.
  4. 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.
