Every developer copies dozens of things an hour: commands, tokens, URLs, stack traces. And macOS keeps exactly one of them.
So I built Klip, a clipboard history app for Mac with three rules:
- Searchable. Type a few letters and find anything you copied earlier.
- Offline. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your clipboard often holds passwords and API keys, so it never leaves your machine.
- Fast. One shortcut to open, arrow keys to pick, Enter to paste.
That's it. No AI, no subscriptions to your data.
👉 Get Klip on the Mac App Store
I'd love feedback from fellow devs: what would make you switch clipboard managers?

For a clipboard manager, I'd want a clear retention boundary as much as offline storage. If a password manager marks copied text as transient or concealed, does Klip skip it rather than put it in searchable history? A small fake-secret test could cover that, app exclusions and auto-expiry. I'd also document whether clearing history removes stored previews as well as the searchable entry, and whether the local database is included in backups. Those details would help me compare "never leaves your machine" with what actually remains on disk.
