Getting Started

clipboarder is a native macOS clipboard manager. It lives in your menu bar, listens to your system clipboard, and gives you a beautiful searchable history one keystroke away.

There are three things you need to know:

1. Install it — one curl command, or download the .dmg manually.
2. Press the hotkey — default is ⌘⇧V. Type to search, Enter to paste back.
3. Tweak Settings — rebind the hotkey, set history limits, exclude apps like 1Password.

Compatibility

• macOS 11+ (Big Sur or later)
• Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64) builds are published for every release

What clipboarder is not

• Not a sync service — your clipboard never leaves your Mac
• Not a TextExpander replacement — there are no snippet expansions
• Not a Windows / Linux app — it's deeply integrated with NSPasteboard and CGEvent
