📋 Clipboard History Manager for macOS

Clipboard History Manager is a lightweight, intuitive Electron-based application that brings powerful clipboard management to macOS. Just like Windows, it lets you keep track of everything you've copied, allowing you to paste from a list of recent clipboard entries seamlessly. With a simple shortcut, you can access your clipboard history and enhance your productivity by never losing a copied text snippet again!

✨ Features

• Clipboard History Tracking: Automatically tracks all your clipboard entries (text only).
• Quick Access: Open the clipboard history window instantly using Shift + Command + V.
• Drag and Move: Easily drag the clipboard window to reposition it anywhere on your screen.
• Pin Important Items: Pin frequently used clipboard items, and they’ll stay saved even after the app restarts.
• Limit of 30 Entries: Keep your clipboard history neat and manageable by automatically removing older entries when the limit is reached.
