I made clippy because pbcopy can't do something I needed every day: copy files to paste into GUI apps. When you pbcopy < image.png, you get raw bytes instead of a file that Slack or email can use. Clippy fixes this: - clippy report.pdf → ⌘V into any app uploads the file - curl image.png | clippy → pipes become pasteable files - clippy *.jpg → multiple files at once - Text files still work like pbcopy Technical: Direct Objective-C bindings via CGo. Copies file references (like Finder), not contents. Auto-cleans temp files. No AppleScript hacks. Install: brew install…

Hey HN I built a tool called ClipCapsule, a clipboard manager for Linux that's designed to be entirely keyboard-driven.

Right now, you’ll need to run it with sudo or allow access to /dev/input/eventX for keyboard capture. We’re working on a proper daemon…

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…

We are longtime members of HN and this is our only submission requesting feedback from the HN community on our product, Clipboard which we have been developing for the past year. Clipboard is a service to save anything online using a bookmarklet or browser extension (think Dropbox for content on the web). Clipboard is built using open source technologies, including Riak, Redis, NGINX, Node.js, and jQuery. One of our core differentiators is how we preserve the visual look and functionality of the original source, which is evident in the sample clips from github here:…

Copying text to clipboard when working on a remote machine via SSH can be tricky. While you can usually highlight text with your mouse to copy it to the primary selection clipboard (and paste with middle-click), this approach has limitations.
