[OS] Buffer v2 — Added Tags, Bookmarks, Secure Auto-Updates & Better Filtering ( Free )
Hey r/macapps 👋 I’m the solo developer of Buffer, a free and open-source clipboard manager for macOS focused on speed, privacy, and keyboard-first workflows. Just released a major update with a few highly requested features: 🏷️ Custom Tags & Smart Filtering Add tags with ⌘T Autocomplete existing tags Filter instantly using #tags 🔖 Bookmarks (⌘B) Unlike pins, bookmarks stay in chronological order but are protected from auto-deletion. 🔄 Secure Auto Updates Buffer now supports architecture-aware self-updating with code-signature verification before installation. ⏱️ Smarter Search Persistence Search/filter state is briefly preserved when reopening the window so context isn’t lost while multitasking. Also polished a lot of smaller UX details across selection, layouts, and settings. Current stats: 1150+ downloads 240+ GitHub stars Developer disclosure: I’m the sole developer Personal side project Fully local No tracking / telemetry Completely free & open source GitHub: https://github.com/samirpatil2000/Buffer Website: https://samirpatil2000.github.io/products/buffer/ Would genuinely love feedback/suggestions from macOS power users here 🙌

I'm only waiting for object support and then I'm ditching Paste after being a lifelong user and even paid $99 for it last year! They updated the search algorithm and it sucks now. I feel like a chump. Do you have somewhere people can donate? If not, would highly suggest creating a BuyMeACoffee account.
Hey thanks for suggestion, I will push the feature as soon as I can.
Could you clarify what you mean by “object”? Are you referring to a particular type of file? If you can share an example, that would help me understand your use case better.
Someone already opened a GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/samirpatil2000/Buffer/issues/29
Glad to see. Please comment any corrections on the cells in the Clipboard App Comparison in the r/MacApps sidebar.
Thanks, Done I have added the comments!
the bookmarks feature is exactly what I was missing in other clipboard managers. pins always felt too permanent and got cluttered fast. this is a cleaner distinction. also appreciate that it's fully local with no telemetry, that's a dealbreaker for me with clipboard apps.
Thanks you
This looks really great, I installed it at first look. Thank you for working on this. How long is the history retained? I like to keep it really long so that I can go back to things I did months ago.
Thanks for the feedback, So it has max limit upto 1k and it can stay forever unless it overflows — last one will start evicting
Very good! Love your Buffer v1 and definitely will try v2
Thanks
Great app! Have been using it for a couple days now
Thanks
Does the tag system support nested tags or is it flat only?
It is flat!
does it respect org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType? that's the one thing that matters for password manager copies imo
I need to add support for the same
What impressed me most about Buffer was that there were no memory leaks, which is great! Hope it stays that way. Thanks to the author for his contribution.
Thanks! And yes, it will stay the same, always.
I like the implementation. I would advise you to add a video in a light theme to your website.
Hmmm, thanks for the feedback
Is this available on HomeBrew?
do we really need a window for this?
Yup
