The programmable clipboard manager for macOS.
Clipbus is a keyboard-first clipboard manager for macOS you can extend with Node.js plugins — write detectors that react to what you copy (JWT, Base64, JSON, color hex…), render rich inline cards, and expose ⌘K actions, all without leaving the keyboard. Built on a native C++17 core — no Electron, no subscription.
This repository hosts the official macOS release artifacts (DMG / zip) and the Sparkle update feed. For the product itself, see clipbus.com.
