In their words
★★★★★
Maccy is hands down the best clipboard manager I’ve ever used, across all platforms. As a writer by profession, I cannot function effectively without one. Most apps I tried were bloated and demanded unnecessary permissions — Maccy is lean, clean, and yet packed with everything I actually need.
★★★★★
If you want a clipboard manager with a modern, restrained UI you should check out Maccy. It is very simple and has a minimal system footprint, but it gets the job done — and crucially, it is free, lightweight and open source.
★★★★★
About two weeks into using Maccy I realised I could not do without it — not just as a clipboard manager, but as a minimalist note-taker and a safety net against silly mistakes. It stays out of the way, is super fast, and does exactly what it needs to.
★★★★★
Maccy does exactly what it should do, in the simplest possible way. That is why I love it. Lightweight, performant and open source — it is everything I want from a Mac clipboard manager.
What reviewers keep mentioning
Four themes come up again and again across the ratings.
It’s focused
The recurring praise: it does one job and does it well. No bloat, no features nobody asked for, no upsells.
It respects privacy
People mention trusting Maccy with sensitive clipboard data — local storage, no telemetry, password-manager safety.
It’s free & open
That it costs nothing and the source is auditable comes up constantly — especially from developers.

Reviews and stars keep a free, open-source project alive — they help other Mac users find it and tell the maintainer what to build next. If Maccy saves you time, a quick rating goes a long way.
