I began building my own clipboard manager in July because the others were missing things I wanted. It is now open source.

Wait 5 sec.

Over the last 15 years of working as an engineer and a scientist I have learned that the things I tend to copy, before I then paste them, end up being pretty important in the future, and are quite informative of what I am doing at any given point. I tended to always want to reuse something from the past, and as a first solution I tried using a dummy notepad, but quickly it became obvious that this deserved a more involved solution. That's when I learned about clipboard management apps that let your machine remember effectively as many things that you copy pasted as can fit on your hard drive. But then, a new problem arose. Clipboard management software itself was not great, hard or impossible to search properly, and often it just looked ugly, or brought more friction than it was worth to my day to day. The ones I liked most you had to pay for. And they were expensive, and still missing key features that I wanted. So last July I began building my own clipboard management app using Opus 5.5 and later GPT 6 Astra. The tool came out so good that I just uninstalled all the others, and soon friends and colleagues began asking me to share it with them -- and they loved it too. So I decided to put some more time, make it a real product and share it with the world. Introducing ClipHoard. First of all, it's completely open source, MIT licensed, and the models it uses for smart search are MIT or Apache 2.0 licensed. While the GitHub code is open source, I am offering a productised Free version that is the exact feature complete clipboard manager that I always wanted, including smart text search. And a Pro version that adds image, audio and video search, similar-image search and automated OCR. So you can use an image to search for similar results, or simply search by the text that was on the screen at that time. Audio and video search are currently in beta. I sell that for £10, one time purchase for all the Macs that you own. Each new Mac is approved by email. Two of the models are from the Open Ogma series, that I trained personally. The app runs its search models on your Mac. ClipHoard is made by my company A² Labs, where I also do my independent research. App and download · GitHub Models: Open Ogma Micro and Open Ogma Small.
