About The Project

Clipster is a simple lightweight clipboard management app for programmers, students or anyone that likes a clipboard history. This also serves as an example of swiftUI implementation as I learn it moving from storyboarding. Just a small project I started working on because I wanted to have something small and simple.

Once the app is running, simply copy anything you want, and clipster will keep a history for you. To recover something you copied, simply click on the item you would like to put back into your pasteboard.

Roadmap

• User defined preview length (Just not updating unless on next open)
• Change how the clipboard updates and triggers events, rather than just check it on a timer
• User defined commands for pasting strings by using cmd + 1, cmd + 2 etc
• Handle images, videos, ect
• Major UI Overhaul

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).

clipster's Issues

Preview slider doesn't update previews until restart or new object creation

When the user wants to adjust the preview size of their content, it does not change retroactively in the ClipListView.

WORK AROUND : restart the app or copy something else into the clipboard, if you want to change the preview length of previous copies, there currently isn't a way atm.

Excess unused space between the text view and timestamp

The text is not using the space efficiently within the clips view. Too much white space between the preview and the timestamp.
