Show HN: ClipWizard – Privacy-First Clipboard Manager

2 points by danebalia 2 days ago

Hi HN,

I’m excited to share ClipWizard, a macOS clipboard manager I built for developers and IT folks who handle sensitive data like passwords, API keys, or personal info. It keeps a searchable clipboard history (text and images), but what sets it apart is its privacy focus: it auto-sanitizes sensitive content using customizable regex rules.

Key features: Clipboard History: Persistent, searchable log of text and images, with one-click copy.

Privacy & Security: Detects and sanitizes sensitive data (mask, obfuscate, or remove) based on custom rules.

Image Handling: Smart previews, editing (rotate, brightness), filters (grayscale, blur), and OCR for text extraction.

Usability: Menu bar access, keyboard shortcuts, and tweakable settings (history size, themes).

I created ClipWizard because I wanted a clipboard tool that’s fast, private, and developer-friendly—no cloud nonsense, no data leaks. It’s built for macOS with a focus on performance and control . I’d love feedback from the HN community! How do you handle sensitive clipboard data in your workflows? Any features you’d want in a tool like this?

Thanks for taking a look! Dane
