Hi there!
I'm Maryna, a solo developer building tools that I believe should be available to everybody.
I have been using macOS for several months now and I found this clipboard manager tool to be missing from it. Other options were either outdated, lacking proper instructions, or simply not working anymore. So I decided to build MaClipHistory.
I also believe this small and convenient clipboard history feature should be free.
Please use it to boost your productivity in your daily life or work projects. It respects your privacy and it's made with care.
Also, it is my first macOS app, please be patient with me.
Love, Maryna ✨
