What inspired Historr was the daily frustration of losing important copied text and the lack of privacy in most clipboard tools.
We set out to build a fast, 100% local, private clipboard manager for macOS that actually helps power users work better — with features like Sequential Paste Stack, smart paste transforms, and auto-expiring secrets.
The biggest evolution was going fully offline with zero telemetry while still making it incredibly powerful and keyboard-first.
Happy to answer any questions! 🚀

Curious how the auto-expiring secrets actually work. Are they tied to a timer after copying, or do they vanish once pasted somewhere specific?
When you copy something, Historr checks if it looks sensitive (credit card via Luhn, a 6–8 digit OTP, or a long API-key/token). If so, it stamps that item with an expiry = now + your configured minutes (default 2). A timer sweeps every 15 seconds and deletes any expired items.
So it vanishes on a countdown from copy time, regardless of whether you paste it, where you paste it, or how many times. Pasting has zero effect on expiry. (Favoriting an item cancels its expiry and keeps it.)

Finally a clipboard manager that doesn't feel bloated. The sequential paste stack alone changed how I move data between apps, and the auto-expiring secrets are a really thoughtful touch.

@cnurettin33910 Thank you — "not bloated" is exactly what we were aiming for, so this means a lot. The paste stack was the feature we personally wanted every day, and the auto-expiring secrets came from being nervous about card numbers and OTPs sitting in history. Glad both landed for you. 🙌

Finally a clipboard manager that actually feels fast on macOS, the sequential paste stack is a lifesaver when moving data between spreadsheets.

@bozalan44892 Thank you! Speed was non-negotiable for us — a clipboard tool has to disappear into your workflow, not slow it down. Love that the paste stack is helping with spreadsheet work; that's one of the exact cases we built it for.

Finally, a clipboard manager that doesn't bog down my Mac. The sequential paste stack alone is worth it, and the auto-expiring secrets feature feels like something every dev needs.

@keremdiben Appreciate it! Keeping it lightweight and local was the whole point. And agreed — auto-expiring secrets feels essential once you're a dev copying tokens and keys all day. Thanks for the kind words. 🧡

@furkan522799 Timer-based, not paste-based.
