Maccy

What it is for

Maccy is a macOS clipboard-history desk: you press ⇧⌘C, type to find This is Maccy., hit Enter, and the app is Free (MIT) from maccy.app / GitHub / Homebrew. Use it when the job is a local clip you start at a public $, not when you need Paste’s iCloud grid + Annual $2.49.

Soft-note: Free / MIT OSS at p0deje/Maccy (LICENSE MIT) + Homebrew brew install maccy. Dual distribution: Mac App Store US$9.99 one-time (id 1527619437, seller Antonina Ivanova) — do not collapse this page to “free only.” Official site is maccy.app only (README warns about fake maccyapp.net / maccyapp.com). Distinct from Paste, Raycast, and Alfred.

What makes it unique: the cover is Maccy’s official menu history (Hello! 👋 / This is Maccy. / Lightweight clipboard manager for Mac. / Search as you type. / Open source. / No fluff! plus Clear / Preferences… / About / Quit, shortcuts ⌘X / ⌘1–⌘5 / ⌥⌘⌫) cropped from maccy.app Instructions.png — not a wordmark. The This is Maccy. row itself is ops of the history.

Key features

• History menu — Hello! 👋 / This is Maccy. / No fluff! (cover still; product). One desk. Cover This is Maccy. sits here.
• Type to search — the search field on the cover (cover; README). A search, not a MAS tile.
• Numbered shortcuts — ⌘1–⌘5 / ⌘X on the cover rows (cover; README). A shortcut, not a $9.99 meter.
• Pin — ⌥P keeps an item on top (README). A pin, not Get started.
• Paste / paste without formatting — ⌥↩ / ⌥⇧↩ (README). A paste, not Enterprise.
• Local + ignore concealed — history stays on the Mac; 1Password / ConcealedType copies are dropped (product; README). Local, not SSO.

Download / Mac App Store are CTAs (not desks). Free / MIT / MAS US$9.99 stay in Pricing. There is no AI extra to drop.

Who it's for

Best fit: Mac users who will stay on Free / MIT while they search a first This is Maccy. clip — then optionally the Mac App Store US$9.99 one-time if they want that SKU to support development, not Paste Annual $2.49 first unless they need iCloud / iPhone / iPad sync, and not if they need Windows or a cross-device clipboard.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from maccy.app plus github.com/p0deje/Maccy (LICENSE MIT; README: Homebrew brew install maccy; macOS Sonoma 14+) and the US Mac App Store lookup id 1527619437 (apps.apple.com: US$9.99, seller Antonina Ivanova, macOS 14.0). Soft-note: dual distribution — the website/GitHub/Homebrew build is Free; MAS is a paid SKU that supports development. Do not invent a Homebrew $.

• Website / GitHub / Homebrew — Free. MIT. brew install maccy.
• Source — p0deje/Maccy.
• Mac App Store — US$9.99 one-time (US storefront; id 1527619437). Family Sharing listed on the MAS page.
• Do not collapse to “free only.” The MAS SKU is real.

Limitations / costs

• macOS-only (Sonoma 14+). No Windows / iOS clipboard.
• No iCloud / cross-device sync. History stays on that Mac — thinner than Paste’s three-device grid.
• Auto-paste needs Accessibility. README: add Maccy in Privacy → Accessibility if paste-on-select fails.
• OSS MIT + optional MAS US$9.99. We link the verified repo.

Alternatives

• Paste — a clipboard grid when you want Annual $2.49/mo ($29.99/yr) + iCloud, not a local MIT menu.
• Raycast — a launcher + clipboard history when you want Free $0 / Pro $10, not Maccy’s This is Maccy. list.
• Alfred — a launcher when you want Free £0 / Powerpack £34 (Clipboard History on Powerpack), not a dedicated MIT history.
