  • Maccy

    Lightweight clipboard manager for macOS

  • 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/.

  • clients

    Bitwarden client applications (web, browser extension, desktop, and cli)

  • Maccy deliberately ignores sensitive data such as passwords as long as they mark themselves as confidential data. http://nspasteboard.org defines conventions for such data and most password managers support it. However, Bitwarden doesn't - https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/2633. If you choose to use Maccy and Bitwarden, the copied passwords will likely end up stored in the history. You might try to configure Maccy to ignore the Bitwarden application, but I can't confirm it's going to work especially for a browser extension.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
