## About

ClipHat is a native clipboard history manager for macOS that keeps copied text, links, images, PDFs, documents, and regular files available for later reuse. Search and filter past clips, pin important items, preview images and documents, open saved links, or restore a selection to the clipboard with a keyboard shortcut.

Designed for Mac users who frequently reuse copied material, ClipHat runs locally with no account, cloud sync, analytics, or network code. Its panel can attach to any screen edge, support light, dark, or system appearance, and drag exported files directly into Finder or another app. Capture rules, ignored apps, retention, launch at login, and pause controls are configurable.
