clipmem - clipboard recall for agents

Searchable clipboard history with OCR: local, fast, free

What it does

clipmem captures everything you copy and makes it searchable. Text, images, URLs, code snippets, PDFs, nothing gets lost. Unlike other clipboard managers, clipmem is built for developers and AI agents. The CLI makes it easy for your OpenClaw to use. A native SwiftUI menu bar app gives you instant access via global hotkey. Images are OCR'd and searchable. All data stays on your Mac in a local SQLite database. No cloud sync, no accounts, no telemetry. Open source and MIT licensed.

    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…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
