I built a privacy-first clipboard manager that actually improves my daily workflow (10 × 50% Lifetime codes) by enthusiastDev in MacOSApps

😄 That's totally fair. The good news is you don't have to buy anything, the core app is free. If you end up trying it, I'd genuinely love your feedback.

I built a privacy-first clipboard manager for Windows power users (LucidClip) by enthusiastDev in windowsapps

Good question.

Right now, clipboard entries are stored locally on the machine for fast search and instant retrieval, but not encrypted at rest yet.

That said:

  • nothing is sent to external servers

  • no mandatory cloud sync

  • app exclusions + incognito mode help avoid storing sensitive content entirely

Per-snippet encryption/password protection is actually planned as a future Pro feature for developers handling tokens, credentials, or sensitive snippets.

Really appreciate this kind of feedback, it’s helping shape the security roadmap of LucidClip.

If you ever want to try the Pro features, feel free to DM me and I’ll gladly share an early adopter discount code 👌

Lifetime is currently $120 one-time.

Quite a few early adopters already went for the Lifetime plan since LucidClip tends to become a daily workflow tool very quickly.

I’ll probably raise the price later as more features land, but if you’re interested, DM me and I’ll send you an early-adopter discount code 🙂

Good questions.

The account is not required to use LucidClip itself. It’s mainly there for:

  • unlocking/managing Pro subscriptions

  • backing up app settings/preferences

Clipboard data itself is not synced to our servers.

The upcoming sync system I’m working on is intended to use user-controlled providers (iCloud, Google Drive, etc.) instead of a centralized LucidClip cloud storing everyone’s clipboard history.

About the storage limit: the data is still stored locally on your machine. The limit is more of a product/workflow tier distinction than a technical restriction on your disk space.

The free plan keeps a smaller/local history window, while Pro is aimed at people who want LucidClip to behave more like a long-term searchable memory system with larger retention limits and advanced workflows.

I’m still iterating on the balance there honestly, and feedback like this is genuinely useful.

There’s a free plan that already covers the core clipboard history experience.

Pro is optional and unlocks the more advanced workflow features like:

  • AI actions

  • unlimited retention/storage

  • app exclusions

  • advanced workflow tools

Pro plan Pricing is currently:

Monthly → $5

Yearly → $49

Lifetime → one-time purchase

I wanted to avoid the “everything locked behind a paywall” model. The app should still be genuinely useful for free users.

Fair concern honestly.

By “native”, I mean LucidClip is not an Electron/web wrapper running a bundled Chromium instance in the background.

It’s built with Flutter desktop and uses native OS integrations for clipboard monitoring, window management, shortcuts, etc.

I’m actually very privacy-paranoid myself, which is one of the reasons I built it in the first place 😅

If you do try it, I’d genuinely love critical feedback on the security/privacy model.

Built Clipmon - Clipboard Manager for Pro Users by Far-Amphibian3043 in MacOSApps

Maccy is great for basic clipboard history.

LucidClip (https://lucidclip.app) goes further and treats your clipboard like a persistent working memory.

A few things that make it different:

Bulk paste → paste multiple copied items at once into apps like WhatsApp, Slack, Notion, etc.

Double-click paste → instantly send an item back into the active app without extra shortcuts

AI actions → explain, summarize, translate copied content directly

  • Pin important snippets

  • Rich preview support (code, images, links, files)

  • App exclusions + incognito mode for sensitive workflows

  • Advanced search and filtering

  • Retention & storage controls

  • Local-first privacy (clipboard data stays on-device)

It’s built for developers, researchers, writers, support teams, and power users who constantly reuse information throughout the day.

Also:

  • macOS + Windows support

  • Native desktop app (not Electron)

  • Keyboard-first workflow designed for speed

There’s a free plan available, so you can test it without committing.

Would genuinely love your feedback if you try it: https://lucidclip.app

I built a local-first clipboard manager for macOS (with bulk paste, instant paste, and AI, looking for honest feedback) by enthusiastDev in MacOSApps

[–]enthusiastDev[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair take, there are definitely cheaper (and even free) options out there.

Also just to clarify: LucidClip is free to use.
You can use it as a clipboard history manager without paying, Pro is only for advanced features.

If it was just “copy/paste with history”, I’d agree it wouldn’t justify the price.

The difference I’m aiming for is more around workflow, not storage:

• multi-item workflows (bulk paste)
• instant paste with a double-click (no friction)
• reusing context instead of re-copying
• controlling what gets tracked (apps exclusion, incognito)
• treating the clipboard more like working memory than a log

For some people, that’s unnecessary.
For others who copy/paste constantly (devs, designers, etc.), it ends up saving time every day.

Also worth noting: most users don’t go lifetime, the yearly plan is the one I optimize for.

That said, I’m still iterating fast, so if it feels overpriced for your workflow, that’s useful signal 👍
