Changelog

All notable changes to Clipped, listed newest-first. Release artefacts live on the GitHub releases page.

v1.4.1 — 2026-04-12

Encrypted history at rest. Persisted clipboard history is now encrypted on disk using a key stored in the macOS Keychain, so history.json is no longer readable by other processes or Time Machine backups.
Seeded examples on first launch. New installs ship with one example item per content type so the panel isn't empty before you've copied anything.
Logic Pro compatibility. Custom pasteboard types (e.g. Logic Pro region payloads) are preserved through ingestion, so copy/paste between Logic tracks works correctly.
ScreenshotWatcher crash fix. Resolved a MainActor-inherited dispatch-handler crash that could trigger during screenshot capture.

Secret masking. API keys and webhook secrets (Stripe, Clerk, GitHub tokens, JWT-style prefixes, etc.) are detected on copy and masked in previews and detail views. Raw bytes still paste correctly.
Full history browser window. A new standalone window gives you a three-pane browser — category sidebar, item list, and detail pane — for navigating your whole history. Open it with ⌥⇧C.
Configurable filter tabs. New smart-category tabs for email, phone, hex colour, and number, plus source-app tabs for chat, browser, editor, and terminal. Show or hide any of them in Settings → General → Filter tabs.

SVG thumbnails. Copied SVG markup now renders as a live thumbnail in the panel instead of showing as raw XML.
Faster screenshot capture. ScreenshotWatcher now uses DispatchSource instead of a 1-second timer, so new screenshots appear instantly with no idle polling.
Leaner history storage. Image payloads are stored as separate files on disk rather than base64 strings inside history.json, dramatically shrinking the history file and speeding up load.

Settings redesign. The settings window is now split into General, Transformations, and App rules tabs with simpler toggles and proper app icons in the per-app rules list.
Welcome flow. Replaced the old onboarding overlay with a multi-step welcome window that walks new users through the basics on first launch.
Dev detection as a mutation. The old .code content type is gone; code detection is now a mutation that flags items with an isDeveloperContent tag, so the Dev filter tab picks up snippets from any source (plain text, rich text, etc.).
LPMetadataProvider. URL previews (title, favicon) now come from LPMetadataProvider instead of hand-rolled HTML parsing. A new Fetch link previews privacy toggle lets you keep copied URLs fully local.
Internal cleanup. AppState.shared singleton replaced with a proper composition root; a new PasteboardProtocol makes the ingestion path unit-testable.

CI and release automation: PR-based version bumps, tag-triggered release workflow, PAT wiring for branch-protected repos. No user-visible changes in v1.2.1 / v1.2.2.

Clipboard mutations. A new transformations engine rewrites items as they're captured:
- Strip tracking parameters from URLs (on by default).
- Trim whitespace from plain text (on by default).
- Clean Amazon links, smart quotes → straight, collapse spaces, strip rich text to plain, RTF → Markdown, strip ANSI codes, detect code snippets (all opt-in).
Per-app overrides. A new App rules list lets you override any transformation for a specific source app — useful for keeping whitespace intact in terminal copies, or forcing Markdown conversion out of Notes.
Undo transformations. Right-click a mutated item and choose Restore original to revert.
Dev filter tab. An automatic developer-content detector tags UUIDs, JSON, code blocks, hex hashes, JWTs, and absolute file paths. A new Dev tab in the filter bar pivots the list to developer content only.
Custom hotkey. The global panel shortcut is now rebindable in Settings. Click the recorder, press a combo, done.
Favicons for URLs. Link previews now show the page's favicon alongside its title.
Resizable settings. The settings window is now resizable with a larger default size.
History size presets. Replaced the stepper with a preset picker (10 / 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 / 500). Default raised from 50 to 100.
Arrow-key fix. Auto-focus the search field on panel open so arrow-key navigation works immediately.

Tab navigation. Use Tab / ⇧Tab to move the selection up and down in the panel, alongside the existing arrow keys.
URL detection in text. URLs copied as plain text now show up correctly in the URL filter tab.
Concurrency and robustness fixes. Several Swift 6 strict-concurrency issues and security bugs found in review resolved.
User-focused README.

v0.1.0. Initial public release: menu-bar clipboard manager, global ⌥C shortcut, searchable history, pinned items, sticky notes.
Password-manager masking. Clipboard content flagged with the standard concealed-type hint (1Password, Bitwarden, etc.) is skipped or masked.
Hex colour swatches. Copied hex colours render with an inline colour preview in the panel.
Hardened runtime + notarisation. App is now correctly signed, hardened, and notarised for Gatekeeper.
Multi-monitor fix. Panel opens attached to the menu bar on whichever display contains the menu bar icon.
Security fixes. CGEvent safety, sensitive-data persistence, and password detection hardened in response to a code review.
