CLUSTER BAR-CLIPBOARD-CODES · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-03
macOS 2FA code copier apps
This cluster consists of macOS menu bar apps that capture two-factor authentication codes and sign-in links from Messages and Mail, then copy them to the clipboard. The dated entry history is too thin to read a shape from, as no dated entries exist before the index start. Among the members with activity signals, CodeCatcher leads with 3 stars, followed by CodeCatch at 2 stars and AutoCodeBar at 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
