Earlier quoted context omitted.

For Alfred powerpack users, there is a workflow for this. I use it all the time :) https://github.com/surrealroad/alfred-reminders

Nice. I will check it out. Quite a while back, I did away with all sorts of Clipboard app, after discovering Alfred's "Clipboard/Snippet Viewer".

I semi-frequently (like every other week) need something longer than 3 months ago. So I still have Paste running on Mac (unlimited history) and iOS. Plus Paste lets me add stuff via iOS sometimes that I want elsewhere. But yeah for normal purposes I use Alfred’s clipboard 95% of the time.

Looks great, thank you for sharing! A question I have about macOS development - where should I start in order to learn how to make menu bar and shortcut driven UIs?

Please, don't forget about the Dock! I personally hate when apps crowd my Menu Bar when they don't need to e.g. Dropbox, NordVPN, Keybase etc. I always try to disable the Menu Bar icon for an app if possible, and if I can't I will delete the app if I can find a suitable alternative. There are so many advantages to a dock icon: - Richer, colorful icon - Support for badges, configurable by user - Won't be hidden by the…

Hadn't thought about that! Thank you for the remark, will definitely keep it in mind.
