HyperPaste – a free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS

Hacker News

To me it always felt like clipboard history was one of the few things missing from macOS. There are already some excellent clipboard managers available, but after trying quite a few of them I kept coming back to the same goal: I wanted something that felt like it belonged on macOS. Fast, keyboard-first, private, and visually restrained. One thing I felt strongly about from the beginning was that it had to be open source. Clipboard managers have access to some of the most sensitive data we copy — passwords, API keys, personal information, financial details — and for something that sits in the background watching my clipboard all day, I personally wasn't comfortable using closed-source software. That ruled out a lot of otherwise great applications for me. The result is HyperPaste. HyperPaste is a free, open source clipboard manager for macOS, built with SwiftUI and AppKit. Clipboard data stays on your Mac — there are no accounts, cloud services, telemetry, or ads. Some highlights: - Instant search - Keyboard-first workflow - Rich support for text, code, links, colors, images, and files - Automatic color previews - Favorites for frequently used clipboard items - Native context menus and keyboard shortcuts - Local-first design with no ads or analytics One of the design goals was to avoid turning clipboard history into a productivity suite. I wanted HyperPaste to stay focused on one job: helping you quickly find and reuse things you've copied. The project is MIT licensed and the source code is available on GitHub. I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions, or criticism. I'll be around to answer questions throughout the day.
