veeboard

macOS Clipboard History

Veeboard is a minimal clipboard history utility for macOS. It tracks recent text copies (⌘C / ⌘X) and lets you quickly recall and reuse snippets via a small floating panel triggered by Command+Shift+V.

It’s lightweight, has no UI beyond the panel, and is built with Objective-C and Cocoa.

Veeboard shows a floating panel of your recent copied snippets (you click on an item and it copies, click anywhere else and it goes away, yaaaaaay!).

Features

• Keeps a history of your last 10 plaintext snippets (configurable)
• Click to copy from a floating panel
• Auto updates clipboard on ⌘C or ⌘X
• Trigger panel with Command+Shift+V.
• Does not run in the dock or menu bar
• macOS native (no dependencies)

Usage

• ⌘C / ⌘X — adds copied plain text to history

• Command+Shift+V — shows the panel of recent snippets

• Click a row — restores the item to your clipboard and closes the panel
