REPO IT / Business Productivity
Can you deploy Maccy?
Lightweight, keyboard-first macOS clipboard history with search, pinned clips, and quick copy or paste.
THE DECISION
Repository route
Maccy is a native Swift clipboard manager for macOS 14 or later. It keeps a searchable history of copied content, supports pinned items, keyboard shortcuts, plain-text paste, and configurable exclusions for sensitive clipboard types. Automatic paste requires Accessibility permission. It runs locally rather than as a hosted service. Official downloads are available through its GitHub releases and Homebrew; maccy.app is the official website. Both the README and MIT licence were checked.
COPYABLE IMPLEMENTATION PROMPT
Prepare a safe deployment plan for Maccy. Repository: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy License: MIT Inspect the README and supported runtime first. Propose dependencies, persistent storage, secrets, HTTPS, backups, health checks, upgrades, rollback, and least-privilege access. Do not deploy before review.
Opening an AI app also copies this prompt as a fallback.

What still runs on you
Open-source code removes a licence fee, not operational responsibility. Confirm maintenance, hosting, backups, upgrades, security, and support before depending on it.
