Cliptop▲112Hi HN, I built Cliptop, a clipboard history app for macOS. Yes, it is another clipboard manager. I built it because I wanted one that felt fast from the keyboard, stayed local, handled more than plain text, and did not make me think too much about sensitive clipboard items. The main things I focused on: * Keyboard-first search and paste * Local clipboard history for text, links, code, images, files, colors, and design layers (e.g. Figma) * Quick actions like paste as plain text, color format conversion, image crop, background removal, and Markdown conversion * Pinboards for saving items and…

Hey HN, I built a tool to solve my biggest LLM workflow frustration: context switching. The idea came from trying to meta-prompt in Cursor, I found myself constantly jumping to a browser or dedicated AI app just to improve a prompt. This copy/paste/tweak cycle was a huge productivity killer. I wanted AI to integrate seamlessly into my workflow, not disrupt it. That's why I built Promptive. It's a native macOS app that lets you select any text, in any application, and run a custom LLM prompt on it with a global keyboard shortcut or right-click and select the action in the…
