Hey Great product. Can't wait to try it out. Any plans to add a mobile version?
Mobile version!! intresting will think of it first i will evolve this oioi roll up to an extent where very less bugs will survive then will plan to launch it in mobiles.

This looks like a massive workflow upgrade! Since marketers copy a million UTM links and hex codes a day, is there a way to 'pin' or 'star' frequently used items to the top of the overlay so they never get buried in the history?
pining the items sound like a feature upgrade to me,
i think i have to tackle this without disturbing the user flow,
hmm...intresting, stay tuned for the next upgrade,
thankyou.

💎 Pixel perfection
The "⌘V for instinct, ⌥V for memory" framing is the smartest part of this — sitting next to the system clipboard instead of trying to replace it is exactly where most managers overreach. As someone shipping a Mac app, curious whether the liquid-glass overlay is rendered natively per platform or one shared layer across macOS/Windows/Linux?
yeah, the goal was never to replace ⌘V, just to give long-term memory its own door. Glad the framing landed.
On the glass: it's one shared layer, not native per-OS. oioi is Electron, so rather than lean on platform vibrancy (which is mac-only and can't be clipped to a custom corner radius anyway), the panel screenshots the desktop region behind itself via desktopCapturer, then blurs that as the backdrop in the renderer. So the exact same capture-and-blur path runs on macOS/Windows/Linux — the "glass" is real (it's the actual desktop, blurred), just done in Chromium instead of by each compositor. Tradeoff is it needs screen-capture permission on macOS; upside is pixel-identical everywhere and fully tunable (blur radius, frost, corners). There's also a zero-permission "Soft" panel for folks who don't want to grant capture.

The shortcut approach is smart. Option+V is close enough to muscle memory that it doesn't require relearning anything. Curious whether it handles clipboard history across app restarts or resets each session. That's usually where clipboard managers either earn daily use or get forgotten.
@sergio_jivan Good eye on the shortcut , ⌥V was deliberate. Close enough to paste muscle memory that you don't have to think about it, but far enough from ⌘V that it won't fight Finder or most editors.
On persistence: history resets when you quit oioi. It's an in-memory ring (default 50 items, configurable up to 200 in Settings). Settings , shortcut, panel style, blur, start-at-login , do persist to disk; clipboard items don't. Same call as the original native app: I wanted something fast and lightweight, not a clipboard vault. If you need stuff to survive reboots, that's on the roadmap , let me know if that's a dealbreaker for daily use.

💡 Bright idea
Congrats on the launch. I like small tools that just fit into the workflow without adding more friction.
How are you handling privacy for clipboard content?
talking about privacy, i see two fillers where we can work on privacy ie clipboard items upload to cloud which is i feel not safe and another is wrapping or masking the sensitive items like passwd or api keys.
and so far oioi is too simple and stupid that it treat your passwd and cpoied items same ie never mask.
so i planned to introduce the provacy features in next roll ups of oioi...

200 things in my clipboard that's an instant hook for me lmao
i got error from mac after opening the app first time:
```
"oioi" not opened
Apple could not verify "oioi" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
[Move to Trash]
[Done]
```
