Changelog
New updates and improvements to MindClip.
v3.1.0
Privacy, on your terms
Privacy is now its own Settings tab with a full set of controls.
- Skip captures from password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords + others) and any app you add
- Pause capture for 5, 15, 60 minutes — or until you resume
- Auto-delete history items after 1 day / 1 week / 1 month / 3 months
- Memory-only mode — never save history to disk
v3.0.2
Boards polish — cleaner dialogs, click-anywhere buttons
A handful of small papercuts in Boards that added up to a janky feel. Cleaned up.
- File pickers (Add image/file, Load from file) now look and behave like a normal Mac file picker — fully movable, properly sized, no wall of text inside the panel
- Every dialog button (Cancel, Save, Discard, Add item, etc.) is now fully clickable across its whole padded area — no more missing the click by a pixel
- Board overlay title field hugs the actual name so there's more space to grab and drag the window
- Removed the redundant "N items" counter in the board header — the items are right there
v3.0.1
Crazy embarrassing bug. Fixed :)
Pre-load text, images, files, video, anything — into a board. Keep it on a second screen during presentations, demos, support calls, sales pitches. Paste any item with a click or a keystroke. Your audience never sees the list.
- Picker no longer stretches to fill most of the screen when you open Boards on a fresh install. Sorry about that!
- Plus a shit ton of functions and fixes. Enjoy and thanks for the ongoing support!
v2.0.7
Your license stays active — period
A long-standing issue could falsely lock licensed users out after long sleep periods or brief connection problems. Fixed for good.
- Your purchased license now stays active even after the Mac has been asleep for days, on flaky Wi-Fi, or during brief server hiccups — only an explicit signal from the server can deactivate it
- The app now automatically retries license checks when the connection isn't ready (e.g. right after waking from sleep) instead of giving up after a single failure
v2.0.6
Purchase made easy
Buy MindClip right from where you need it — no hunting through menus.
- When your trial ends, holding ⌘V now shows a friendly dialog with a direct "Buy Now" button instead of silently opening Settings
- Pricing ($7.99, one-time, no subscription) is now visible on the trial screen, the expired-trial screen, and in Settings → License
- Active trial users see a subtle "keep it forever" nudge in Settings → License
- Expired trial users see a dedicated "Buy Now" button with license key entry below in both onboarding and Settings
v2.0.3
Trial & license improvements
Smarter handling of trial and license states during onboarding.
- Re-running onboarding with an active trial no longer makes the trial appear to renew
- Expired trial users now see a clear "Your trial has ended" screen with license key entry
- Redesigned onboarding with a streamlined permission flow and interactive ⌘V gesture check
- Fixed hold ⌘V not working after granting Accessibility during first-run setup
v2.0.1
Permission stability
Revoking accessibility permissions no longer freezes your Mac.
- Fixed system freeze when toggling accessibility off while MindClip is running
- MindClip now auto-recovers when accessibility is re-enabled — no manual restart needed
- Added 72-hour free trial for new users
- Added license key activation in onboarding and Settings > License
v1.9.58
History lives in the picker
Your clipboard history is now unified in the picker — one place to see everything, no duplicate lists to keep straight.
- Removed the History submenu from the menu bar (use ⌘⇧V or click the menu bar icon to open the picker)
- Removed the History tab from Settings — the picker is now the single home for your clipboard history
- Reorganized the menu bar dropdown: Settings is now promoted to its own section, with About, How to Use, and Check for Updates grouped together below

v1.9.50
Permission status fix
Reminders and Notes permissions now report accurately.
- Fixed permission status for Reminders and Notes showing red even when granted — now only shows denied when macOS explicitly reports it
- Opening Settings no longer silently launches Reminders and Notes apps in the background — permission status is now checked via macOS TCC APIs without contacting the target apps
v1.9.48
Drag & drop polish
Ghost mode, auto-close, and a new Clear Oldest 20 option.
- New "Clear Oldest 20" option in the trash menu, next to Clear Oldest 5/10
- Picker now fades to a faint ghost and becomes click-through while you drag items out — drop targets underneath are fully reachable, even the spot the picker was covering
- Picker auto-closes as soon as a drag ends, matching how paste and merge already behave — no more stranded ghost window after a drop
- Fixed stale selection badges persisting across picker open/close — each session now starts with a clean selection state
