What Maccy is

Maccy is a macOS clipboard manager that keeps a searchable history of copied items for quick reuse. Users can open the history, type a search, and select an entry with Enter; keyboard shortcuts also cover opening, pasting, pinning, and deleting. The maker says searches open in a fraction of a second. Clipboard data is stored on the Mac and does not leave it. Maccy ignores certain confidential or temporary pasteboard types by default, including types associated with 1Password and KeeWeb. You can add custom exclusions or pause recording temporarily. The app has a native interface, configurable preferences, Shortcuts automation actions, and rich text support. Its source is available on GitHub under the MIT license, and the maker says it will always be free. Maccy requires macOS Sonoma 14 or higher. Direct download and Homebrew installation are available; the App Store option is $9.99, paid once.
