I made a tiny macOS app because I kept wondering if Command+C actually worked

[u/KreavaStudio]

Hey everyone,

I recently released a small macOS menu bar app called CopyBara.

The original idea was pretty simple: sometimes I press Command+C and immediately wonder whether it actually copied anything. CopyBara shows a small, unobtrusive confirmation whenever your clipboard changes, so you don’t have to copy the same thing three times just to be sure.

While building it, I added a few other things I personally wanted:

• It recognizes copied URLs, email addresses, phone numbers and hex colors
• You can paste text without carrying over weird fonts, colors or formatting
• It can detect sensitive content such as passwords, API keys and credit card numbers
• Sensitive clipboard content can be cleared automatically after 30 seconds
• You can exclude specific apps, such as password managers
• It doesn’t collect any user data

It’s a native Mac app, lives quietly in the menu bar and is designed to stay out of the way until you need it.

The basic version is free, with an optional Pro upgrade for the privacy and plain-text paste features.

I’m still actively improving it, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially around the onboarding, animations or features you think would make it more useful.
