FYI, there's an alternate clipboard in macOS called the kill ring (influenced by Emacs) that lets you cycle through previously killed text. The default property is called NSTextKillRingSize. There's a bit of config to do but it still works (Sonoma 14.5 as of this writing) for native macOS apps. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...

#52Looks nice. I will probably stick with Maccy as it is open source and gets regular updates: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy

#53any functionality to exclude passwords from making it into the history? This is the most annoying thing with Maccy for me (I literally have complex wrapper scripts that turn it on and off when I'm using my password manager which are flaky and annoying to maintain).
That’s one of the most requested feature for now. I will definitely add it, so you can add any app to the list of software that must be ignored. Thanks for your feedback!

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Raycast is great, although I'm a little annoyed that unlimited clipboard history is behind a $10/month paywall – annoying given that it's just a config setting, I'm running the compute and storage.
I just saw the parent comment about alfred, enabled the clipboard history extension in raycast, gave it a cmd+shift+v hotkey, and then read your comment about it being behind a paywall? Are you talking about a different none-extension clipboard history? I'm not paying for it and it works nicely.

#55Didn’t try your app but as a longtime Maccy user: What is Maccy missing from these 4 points?

#57How does this tool make sure not to historize any passwords copied onto the clipboard?
Re: Show HN: A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS
#58Raycast has this built in. Don't see the need to install a separate application for this purpose. Aren't such launchers mainstream already?

I never thought about this. Thanks for asking. I will definitely add it, so you can add any app to the list of software that must be ignored.
