Maccy
Clipboard history
open sourceProductivity Editor's pick
Maccy is a minimalist clipboard manager: keeps copy history locally, opens with a hotkey, and finds items by the first letters. No accounts or sync — data never leaves the Mac. Weighs a couple of megabytes and lives in the menu bar.
// Install
Your MacHomebrew in /opt/homebrew
brew install --cask maccy// What it is for
- Clipboard history behind a hotkey — what you copied last week is still there
- Search the history instead of scrolling a list
- Lightweight and open source: a few megabytes of memory, no cloud
- Passwords copied from password managers never enter the history
// Common questions
Is keeping clipboard history safe?
Maccy honours the confidentiality flag password managers attach to copied secrets and skips those entries. You can also cap the history size and exclude specific apps.
Why bother when Raycast and Alfred include clipboard history?
No reason, if you already use one of them. Maccy is for people who want clipboard history alone without a whole launcher.
