# ClipBoardManager

A macOS menubar clipboard manager with file support.

## Features

The menu bar item menu shows the clipboard history. The app tries to reconstruct the clipboard state as closely as possible. Therefore, the app supports a wide variety of formats, e.g.

- Files

- Multiple files

- Directories

- Web images

- Text

Files have a little icon representing the file type, and web images have a little preview icon.

## Requirements and Versions

The standard version makes use of APIs that are only available on **MacOS13** and later. An older version for earlier versions of MacOS is included in the **MacOS12 branches**. The older version has fewer features, e.g. no start at login via app preferences.

## Installation

You can compile the app yourself using xcode `xcodebuild -configuration Release` or you can download a compiled version from [releases](https://github.com/Lennard599/ClipBoardManager/releases).

## FAQ

**Why is the clipboard history incomplete?**

There are three possibilities:

- The app was not running. ClipBoardManager can only record the clipboard if it is running.

- If you copy faster than the refresh interval, the app is not able to save the state of the clipboard. You can reduce the refresh interval in the preferences.

- The app crashed or was forcefully closed. On closing, the app will write the clipboard history to disk, so it can be retrieved on the next startup.
