[OS] SmartClipboard - A keyboard-driven, native macOS clipboard manager with sequential pasting and AI search

I wanted to share SmartClipboard, a free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS built with SwiftUI and SwiftData. Although it includes a powerful AI search, the main goal was to solve everyday workflow problems around keyboard navigation and repetitive form-filling that many clipboard managers don’t address. Rather than relying on substring searches and mouse interactions, SmartClipboard is designed to keep your hands on the keyboard and make working with clipboard history faster. Core Features Sequential Multi-Pasting (Option + 1-9): Copy multiple values in sequence, such as a username, password, and 2FA code, then paste them back in order using Option + 1, Option + 2, and so on. SmartClipboard also detects Slack and Discord automatically, using Shift + Enter to prevent accidentally sending messages while pasting. Keyboard-First Navigation: Navigate your entire clipboard history without touching the mouse. Press the Right Arrow to open the detail view for large text or code blocks, Up and Down Arrows to move between items while staying in the detail view, and the Left Arrow to trigger customizable quick actions such as pinning, favoriting, deleting, or searching Google. Private Sessions (Cmd + Shift + N): Enable Incognito Mode to temporarily capture clipboard items without saving them to disk. Everything copied during the session is permanently discarded when Incognito Mode is turned off. One-Click History Import: If you’re switching from another clipboard manager, you can import your existing clipboard history directly from Alfred, Keyboard Maestro, or BetterTouchTool through the settings panel. AI Search: If you don’t remember the exact text you copied, you can enable conceptual search. Using your own free Google AI Studio API key, SmartClipboard sends only your search query to the Google Gemini API to find matching clipboard items by meaning rather than exact text. Searches like “that Python script” or “the address in Chicago” can locate relevant clips even if you don’t remember the exact wording. Privacy & Security: Clipboard history is stored locally using SwiftData. SmartClipboard filters sensitive content from password managers and respects concealed clipboard type flags to help prevent storing protected data. Comparison Maccy Lightweight and fast.
