[OVERVIEW]

What is Kyiri Clip?

macOS only remembers the last thing you copied. Kyiri Clip remembers all of it. Press ⇧⌘V and the last few hundred items are right there: searchable, pinnable, one tap to paste.

It is a single native Swift app. No browser, no account, no cloud. Your history lives on your Mac and nowhere else.

done. 7 checks passed.

There is no network code in the app. Your clipboard never touches a server, an account, or the cloud, because none of those exist here.

Everything is stored only for you. The history lives in your home folder with owner-only permissions and is kept out of Time Machine and iCloud backups.

It knows what not to keep. Password managers and other concealed copies are skipped, and the logs only ever record event types, never the content itself.
