CLUSTER CLIPBOARD-HISTORY-MACOS · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-31
Cross-platform clipboard managers
This cluster consists of clipboard manager apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux that keep searchable history, support pinning/pinboards, and enable sequential pasting. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only one dated entry exists before the index start, so the products may predate the index or lack source dates. On traction, whisk leads by activity signal with 24 stars, while clipboard and Pastrix trail at 1 star each.
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.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
