Lightweight standalone macOS clipboard manager for users who only want Raycast's clipboard
A developer built Cliplet, a 5.5 MiB Swift-native clipboard manager, because Raycast's clipboard history is bundled inside a launcher they otherwise don't use. Demand signal: users want a focused, standalone clipboard app with text/image/file history, search, pinning, OCR and QR decoding, all local. The project is MIT open-source, validating that this niche has active interest.
The problem
macOS users who like Raycast's clipboard history don't want to adopt the whole launcher ecosystem just for that one feature. Existing dedicated managers are either bloated, paid, or missing local OCR/QR support; power users want a tiny, dependency-free app that keeps data on-device.
What could be built
Build a lightweight native clipboard manager (menu-bar or standalone) with history for text/images/files, instant search, pinning, on-device OCR and QR recognition, and no cloud sync. Differentiate on small footprint, open source, and Chinese/English localization.
