Installed it with brew - free and no data collection in the process. Works amazing! Better than alternatives on Linux/Windows. Very nice interface and settings. Saves files and images (not only text), has preview for the hovered items, has search - what else do you might want here? Thanks to the developers and contributors!

You have to provide an email address in order to download from website.

Of course you can give a burner, or get on github (if you know how to do that) but this is an objectionable practice demonstrating poor judgement on behalf of the developer. Who know what other creepy stuff it going on.

Install it with brew ;-)

Or download it as a release from GitHub: no compiling required; it's just a zip of the app.

Also, if you're concerned about what's going on, the code is available on GitHub for you to see exactly what it's doing.

It's great, you can access to the copied clipboard through contextual menu -with a keyboard shortcut- and there are keyboard shortcuts -⌘1-9- to paste them quickly.

You can install Maccy free through Homebrew https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/maccy

Strange way to download free version only through GitHub. In AppStore app costs 10 dollars. I suspect that Maccy is fork of Clipy, which is fork of ClipMenu.

Appstore - It's possible to support authors, but u can use brew to install and upgrade it.

It's very fast and pretty configurable. I just wish there were a way to keep pinned items distinct from the rest of the clipboard items.

I'm using it a lot as a developer. It's lightweight, easy to use. There aren't many advanced features, but it's open source.

What is Maccy?

Maccy is a clipboard manager doing one job — keep your copy history at hand. Period.

• Blazing fast. Open and search your entire clipboard history in a fraction of a second. Nothing distracts you from what you're focused on. • Keyboard-first. Just type what you want to find and hit Enter. Don't waste your time moving your hands away from the keyboard. • Native and minimalistic design. Don't get distracted by a sophisticated interface and useless features. Feels like the operating system has a built-in clipboard manager. • Secure and private. Password managers are not logged. All the data is stored on your Mac and never leaves it. • Customizable and extensible. Configure every aspect in preferences. Automate complex cases with Shortcuts actions.
