CLUSTER BAR-CLIPBOARD-HISTORY · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-17
macOS menu bar launcher utilities
This cluster comprises macOS menu bar utilities that consolidate quick-access functions such as clipboard history, app launching, calculations, file search, and bookmarking into a single keyboard-driven launcher. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from — the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, vibebar shows the highest activity signal with 45 stars, followed by OmniMac (14 stars) and copywheel (7 stars).
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.
