Maccy
About Maccy
Maccy is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS by Alex Rodionov, released under the MIT license. It keeps the history of what you copy and lets you quickly navigate, search and reuse earlier clipboard contents, something the built-in macOS clipboard cannot do.
It is keyboard-first: press Shift-Command-C to open the list, type to filter, press Enter to copy or Option-Enter to paste, and add Shift to paste without formatting. Items can be pinned to the top with permanent shortcuts, deleted individually or cleared in bulk. You can pause recording, ignore the next copy, or ignore specific apps and pasteboard types. Maccy has a native UI and requires macOS Sonoma 14 or later.
