    Yes. Free and open source. Here. But you can support the developer by getting it from the Mac App Store. It's worth it the price.

    With Alfred you can do almost anything efficiently.  Personally, I did get its powerpack to get all of Alfred's features; clipboard history and much more. Though when it comes to clipboard history there's a free alternative: Maccy. Back to Alfred - Alfred can also create workflows that allows you to control apps, make snippets and queries directly to websites that you can customize. Watch this video to learn more.

    Maccy - an open source clipboard manager that I develop got a new version 0.26 yesterday that I'm excited about. The whole changelog is in GitHub and some of the new features are making it a way more powerful tool that needs a bit more explanation, so I've decided to write this post, though I'm not sure if Reddit is the best place for this.

  • Whats your opinion on Maccy app for MacOS?
    2 projects | /r/privacy | 19 Feb 2023
    Maccy is an open source app, so you can inspect the source code to make sure there is nothing malicious there - https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy. It's also fully sandboxed and doesn't allow outgoing communication so the data it stores never leaves your computer. All the data lives in $HOME/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy/.
