Very nice and clean! Only feature request I have is to allow window repositioning and resizing :)

#62I just use Alfred. Has clipboard history and so much more. https://alfredapp.com/
As does LaunchBar, the Great Grand-Parent of all cmd-space launchers. While I can’t claim to have used it in the NeXT era, I am pretty sure I have since Mac OS X Beta https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html
oh wow I always thought Quicksilver was the first one (after Spotlight of course)

#63Ok, I'll be that guy. But what stops a very clever hacker from creating something useful and seemingly naive as this, but adding some hard to find backdoor in it. I was about to just install it but then stopped and thought, what could be the easiest RCE out there. Make a useful app, a catchy domain name, professional landing page, get social proof by getting it to HN front page and have zero people comment what I'm currently commenting... There is no link to source, no link to LinkedIn profile of the creator. I'm sure this is a legit app, but makes me wonder, am I the only paranoid person here?

#64Only gripe... the default keyboard shortcuts are "paste un-formatted" in a lot of applications.
Seems like some other combination of keys would be better to use.

Yeah, I absolutely need open source for this and me building it fully myself. I wouldn't be able to trust it otherwise, unless it came with the OS itself.

#66Interesting, I've been using raycast clipboard that even stores images. Instead of cmd+shift+v i use cmd+shift+p which is much quicker to pull up.
Both of those combinations pretty commonly used in other applications
cmd+shift+v -> unformatted paste
cmd+shift+p -> command palette
I use Karabiner and use right_command+v for the clipboard launcher without interfering with the other apps.

I actually had the same thought after I had installed it and noticed that the binary was over 600MB. Sure, it's probably just Electron, but still, it was just enough to get me to hold off on actually trying it for now.

BetterTouchTool also supports clipboard history, it's just not assigned to any shortcut by default.

#70any 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!
One way to implement this would be to have a checkbox to ignore passwords/single words
When checked ignore anything that has a space
Slick UI. Well done.
