In their own words
Clipbara
Clipbara is a macOS clipboard manager that keeps a searchable history of copied items, including text, rich text, HTML, images, links, files, and colors. Search can examine clip contents, titles, or source apps, with filters by type and date. Pinboards organize reusable clips, and Quick Look previews items from the history panel. Selecting a clip restores it to the clipboard for pasting into the active app. The maker says history stays locally and that the app has no account, server, or analytics. Capture, search, preview, and paste work offline, though the DMG build uses the network for Sparkle update checks. Users can exclude apps from recording and export or import histories as JSON. Builds are available from the Mac App Store, DMG, and Homebrew. The source is GPL-3.0, while the Mac App Store edition has a separate proprietary license. The DMG / Homebrew plan is free for macOS 14 Sonoma or later; a 7-day trial is listed for the App Store in-app purchase, and Clipbara Lifetime costs $7.99, paid once purchase for macOS 14.0 or later.
