MaccyPlus

A clipboard manager that acts on what you copy. MaccyPlus is a fork of Maccy, the lightweight macOS clipboard manager, with an automation layer on top: rules, actions, plugins and a headless config CLI. macOS only.

brew install --cask roypadina/tap/maccyplus

MaccyPlus vs upstream Maccy

MaccyPlus keeps everything Maccy does (searchable history, keyboard-first, native UI, private) and adds:

• Rules with conditions (URL, email, phone, file path, color hex, image, text, regex, contains-text, source app, soft-wrapped, from a terminal) that match what you copied.
• Actions that do something with it: open as URL, open in an app, web search, reveal in Finder, open a file, transform text, run a macOS Shortcut.
• Per-action shortcuts and auto-run on copy.
• Plugins (declarative JSON or sandboxed JavaScript) with a marketplace.
• A headless CLI to manage all of it from scripts or AI coding agents.
• An agent clipboard API: AI agents leave values in your history with a label (which session) and a note (where to run it), shown on the row and matched by search.

Upstream Maccy is a separate project; see Credits.
