ClipBook is a macOS clipboard history app that stores everything you copy and lets you quickly access your clipboard history.
ClipBook is open source to provide transparency and trust for the users. I want you to be confident that there's no hidden logic, tracking, or behavior in the app. Privacy is important, and I want you to know that ClipBook respects your privacy.
You can analyze the source code and even build your own copy of the app using the instructions below.
Note: ClipBook remains a paid application. I rely on your support to continue development and maintenance. Purchasing a license helps me improve the app and offer ongoing support.
You can build your own copy of ClipBook from the source code by following these steps:
- macOS Sonoma 14 or later.
- Install Node.js version 20.11.0 or higher.
- Install Command Line Tools.
Note: ClipBook is built using Molybden, a commercial SDK for building cross-platform desktop applications using C++ and web technologies. You can use a free 3-week trial to build ClipBook.
git clone git@github.com:vladimir-ikryanov/ClipBook.git
cd ClipBook
npm install
npm run molybden build
This command will build and pack ClipBook into a native executable and place it in the project's build-dist/bin
directory. It will also create a DMG installer in build-dist/pack
.
Note: The application will not be signed and notarized. You can sign and notarize it using your own Apple developer certificate by following the instructions in the Molybden documentation.
ClipBook’s source code is provided for transparency and personal use. However, its use in commercial or redistributed products is restricted without a license. Please refer to the LICENSE file for details.
