A lightweight, open-source clipboard manager for macOS — search your clipboard history from a keystroke, with no account and no background bloat.

Maccy does one thing: it keeps a searchable history of what you have copied and brings it back with a keyboard shortcut. No sync service, no AI, no menu-bar clutter — just a fast list you filter by typing.

Why it makes the list

Clipboard managers are one of those tools you can't give up once you have one, and Maccy is the pick if you value a small footprint and open code. It is written in native Swift, uses almost no memory, and stores everything locally.

Standout features

  • Instant fuzzy search over your clipboard history

  • Pin frequently used snippets to the top of the list

  • Configurable history size and ignore rules for password managers

  • Paste as plain text to drop formatting

  • Fully local storage — nothing is uploaded anywhere

  • Native and tiny — Swift, not Electron

Pricing

Free and open source under the MIT licence. Pay $9.99 on the Mac App Store if you would rather support the developer and get automatic updates.
