Show HN: I Built a Privacy First Clipboard History Manager for macOS

1 ajmayafi 0 8/26/2025, 3:24:31 PM

Hello HN , I built Recall because I kept losing copied text while working. Existing clipboard managers felt bloated or unsafe so I designed Recall to be privacy first and simple:

- History clears automatically when the app is killed. - All data is stored locally on your Mac — nothing leaves your machine. - Minimal UI, works instantly with ⌘ + V.

It’s built with Electron + sqlite, lightweight enough for daily use, and packaged for macOS (both Intel + Apple Silicon).

You can try it here its 100% free: https://ajmayafi.gumroad.com/l/recall-macOS

Would love your feedback.
