And macOS keeps exactly <strong>one</strong> of them.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Klip</strong>, a clipboard history app for Mac with three rules:</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Searchable.</strong> Type a few letters and find anything you copied earlier.</li> <li> <strong>Offline.</strong> No account, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your clipboard often holds passwords and API keys, so it never leaves your machine.</li> <li> <strong>Fast.</strong> One shortcut to open, arrow keys to pick, Enter to paste.</li> </ol> <p>That's it. No AI, no subscriptions to your data.</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6788219271?mt=12" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get Klip on the Mac App Store</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback from fellow devs: what would make you switch clipboard managers?</p> macos productivity privacy showdev hilopk Thu, 15 Oct 2026 04:16:25 +0000 https://dev.to/hilopkdjcu/your-mac-clipboard-forgets-everything-klip-doesnt-57af https://dev.to/hilopkdjcu/your-mac-clipboard-forgets-everything-klip-doesnt-57af <p>The built-in Mac clipboard keeps one thing: whatever you copied last. Copy a second item and the first one is gone.</p> <p>Klip is a menu bar app that keeps a searchable local history of what you copy:</p> <ul> <li>Text</li> <li>Images</li> <li>Links</li> <li>Files</li> </ul> <p>Open it with a shortcut, search, and paste the item back. History stays on your Mac. Fully offline. No extra permissions. Free on the Mac App Store.</p> <p><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/klip-clipboard-history/id6788219271?mt=12" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download Klip on the Mac App Store</a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F374nt8gdsnafmlpmv1x7.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F374nt8gdsnafmlpmv1x7.jpg" alt="Klip clipboard history on Mac" width="800" height="500"></a></p> productivity privacy
