ClipBuddy

What it does

ClipBuddy is a native macOS clipboard manager that remembers everything you copy — and lets you actually find it again. Search your whole history by meaning, pull text out of screenshots with OCR, save reusable snippets, organize with Stack & Slots, and run built-in developer tools. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves your Mac. Free to start; Pro unlocks the full toolkit.

ClipBuddy is a native Mac clipboard manager. Search your full copy history, extract text from screenshots, and paste with ⌘⇧V. 100% private and on-device.

That address from Tuesday, the photo from last week, the link you lost — press ⌘⇧V and it's back. It even finds a screenshot by the words inside it, and nothing you copy is ever sent anywhere. Your history is stored only on your Mac. ClipBuddy ships without the outbound-network entitlement, so the app cannot send anything anywhere — macOS enforces that, it isn't a promise we make. No sign-up, no email, no password. Pro is bought through the Mac App Store and Apple handles it, so there is no login and nothing to breach. History, search and reading the words inside screenshots work offline. Translation, voice search and AI also run locally when their required Apple language and model…from clipbuddyapp.com

  A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS2024 · clipbook.app · ▲141

  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…

  Hi 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…

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
