In their own words
Clipy
Clipy is a free, open-source clipboard extension app for macOS. It opens clipboard history with a keyboard shortcut so you can choose an item copied earlier, and it provides a separate menu for saved snippets. Default shortcuts are Shift-Command-V for the main menu, Control-Command-V for history, and Shift-Command-B for snippets. Clipy supports clipboard formats including plain text and images. Clipboard history, snippets, preferences, and related data stay on the Mac. The project says copied contents are not transmitted to its servers or third parties. Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are enabled by default but can be disabled in Preferences. Sparkle checks for updates. Clipy requires macOS 13 Ventura or later, is released under the MIT license, and accepts donations. macOS may require Accessibility permission for paste behavior.
