Changelog
New updates and improvements to MindClip.
v3.13.0
Now we're talking
This release opens the line in both directions — you can reach us straight from the menu bar, and MindClip finally explains itself when macOS blocks paste.
- Report a Problem, built in. Menu bar → Report a Problem, write what happened, attach a screenshot or five, press Send. We read every single report — and what rides along is app health (permissions, settings, counts), never your clipboard content.
- "Blocked by Google Chrome." Some apps turn on macOS Secure Input, which silently mutes every clipboard tool. MindClip now tells you instead of looking broken: the menu names the app responsible whenever macOS reveals it, with the fix printed right underneath — and if it stays stuck for over a minute, a small orange warning triangle appears on the menu bar icon.
v3.12.0
A quick note from the founder
MindClip has grown a lot recently — many of you are new here. Welcome!
- You may have noticed updates arriving often lately. That's not instability — that's me reading every piece of feedback and usually shipping the fix within days
- Going forward I'm settling into a calmer rhythm: fewer, larger updates — like this one, which bundles two features
- Thank you for your patience and for all the feedback. It genuinely decides what gets built. — Mathias
- Text you've used 4+ times across different days gets a blue Save as Snippet icon in the picker — one click saves it
v3.11.0
Your hands never leave the keyboard
The picker is now fully keyboard-driven — every tab, every row, no mouse required.
- ⇥ switches tabs. Hold ⌘V, tap Tab — Clipboard, Snippets, Boards, and around again. The footer shows the way.
- Arrow through everything. On the Clipboard tab, the arrows now travel through your pins first, then your history — one continuous list. On Snippets, arrows + Enter + the number keys work exactly like you'd expect: your top snippet is always just "1" away.
- The picker remembers where you were. Close it on the Snippets tab, and that's where it opens next time — even after a restart.
- A subtle bug got fixed along the way: with a search active, pressing Enter or a number key could paste a different item than the one shown on screen. Keyboard actions now always paste exactly what you see.
v3.9.3
The vanishing "v" — found and fixed
A few users hit something strange: the letter v stopped working entirely, everywhere on the Mac, until MindClip was restarted. We found it, fixed it, and made sure it can never happen again.
- The cause: if your trial had just expired and you used the hold-⌘V gesture, MindClip's keyboard listener could get stuck waiting for a window that never opened — quietly swallowing every "v" you typed. Fixed at the root.
- A safety net on top: MindClip now continuously checks that its keyboard state matches reality, and self-heals instantly if they ever disagree. Even an undiscovered bug of this kind can no longer take your "v" hostage.
- Bonus fix: running MindClip straight from the downloaded disk image could make the app silently vanish on first launch after an update. It now starts normally — though we still recommend keeping MindClip in your Applications folder.
- Pasting is now exactly-once. In rare timing situations — pasting from the picker while still holding ⌘V, holding ⇧⌘V or a board shortcut a beat too long, or double-tapping through a paste queue — the same text could land twice. Every one of these is fixed.
v3.9.1
Labels, now in color
Give your labels a color and spot them instantly — the eye finds color faster than it reads text.
- How it works: right-click any item in your history → Add Label (or Edit Label) → type your label and tap one of the 8 colors. Done.
- Colored labels pop in the list. The whole label chip takes the color, so "Urgent" in red jumps out even when you're scrolling fast.
- Easy to change your mind. Tap the same color again to remove it, pick another, or leave it plain — labels without color look exactly like before.
v3.9.0
Backup, done right
Meet the new Backup tab in Settings — everything you've built in MindClip, saved and movable.
- Back up everything. History, pins, boards, and snippets — one click, one file. Choose exactly what to include.
- Locked with your password. Backups are encrypted, so the file is as private as your clipboard. No password, no peeking.
- Restore anywhere. Moving to a new Mac? Import the file and pick what to bring in — it merges with what you have, nothing gets overwritten. Board colors, pins, and labels all come along.
- Bonus fix: histories with lots of images could silently lose some after a restart. Found it while building this — fixed for everyone.
v3.8.8
Clearer path to Apple Intelligence
Our favorite setup-tester strikes again — this time on the AI tab:
- Settings now spells out that AI features need Apple Intelligence turned on in System Settings, not just macOS 26 — with a one-click button that takes you straight there.
- New tip for a sneaky macOS quirk: if the Apple Intelligence switch is greyed out, Siri and Apple Intelligence must be set to the same language first. Now the settings tell you, so you don't have to find out the hard way.
v3.8.7
First impressions, polished
A brand-new user walked through setup and told us about every bump. We fixed all three:
- Windows now follow you. Settings and setup dialogs open on the desktop you're actually looking at — no more invisible warning stranded on another Space while everything beeps at you.
- "Re-run Setup" now truly resets. It restarts MindClip fresh, which cures the rare case where ⌘V wouldn't respond right after granting permissions — no manual restart needed.
- Granting Reminders & Notes access is one click. "Request Access" pops the real macOS permission prompt instead of sending you to an empty Automation list. And the status badges now only show what's actually verified — updating live the second you flip a toggle.
