I built a small desktop tool called PasteClean to solve a personal annoyance: sharing URLs filled with tracking garbage (utm_source, fbclid, etc.). It runs in the background and automatically cleans URLs in your clipboard when you copy them. It handles 50+ tracking parameters and can also unshorten links (bit.ly, t.co) to reveal the destination and clean them before pasting. Tech stack is Electron/React/TypeScript. The core privacy features are free. I added a "Pro" lifetime license for some advanced features (unshortening, batch mode) to support development.

Hey HN, As a Software Engineer, I frequently copy and paste content. The fact that macOS clipboard buffer can keep only one item is very frustrating. It’s very annoying to copy → switch app → paste → switch app → copy → switch app → paste, and so on. Losing items I copied hours ago and having to find and copy them again is a waste of time. I tried many third-party clipboard managers like Alfred, Raycast, Paste, Maccy, etc. While great, they didn't fully meet my needs. As a developer, my requirements are: 1. Keyboard-centric operation to avoid using the mouse. I don’t want to waste my time…

AegisClip▲11Hi HN, I built AegisClip, a minimalist clipboard manager for Mac. Problem: I often needed to copy multiple items (code, text, links) but existing clipboard tools felt limited. Switching windows and pasting repeatedly was frustrating. Solution: AegisClip tries to reduce context switching with: - Auto Paste after copying - Split copied text into multiple items - Batch or step-by-step paste - Inline previews (including color values), tags & search - 100% on-device, with privacy in mind Would love to hear feedback from this community on how you use clipboard tools and what matters most. Demo &…

Hello HN, I’m Joseph, a solo developer. I built CustomPaste because I was frustrated by the binary choice standard clipboard tools give us: either keep all the messy formatting (background colors, huge fonts) or strip everything down to plain text. We all know Ctrl+Shift+V (paste as plain text), but that is often too destructive, it kills hyperlinks, bolding, and lists when I usually just want to normalize the font family (e.g., force Arial 11pt) or remove background colors. I wanted a tool that let me "strip exactly what I want, and keep exactly what I want." The Solution: Instead of a…
