About SmartClipboard
SmartClipboard keeps a searchable history of what you copy, in a menu bar panel or a Spotlight-style window. Recent items paste with Cmd plus a number key, and a run of items can paste in order with Option. Snippets are triggered with slash commands, and searches understand words such as "yesterday". It is for people who reuse text, code and links and want that history to stay on their own Mac.
It requires macOS 14 or later. The DMG is not notarized and not signed with a paid Developer ID, so the first launch needs Open Anyway in Privacy & Security settings or a quarantine-removal command. AI search runs on Ollama on your Mac, or sends your queries to Google Gemini if you add a Gemini API key. Items from password managers are ignored, and incognito mode stops saving history.
