What is new in ClipRecallBar 1.0.0

# ClipRecallBar v1.0.0

ClipRecallBar is a free, native clipboard history popup that lives in your macOS menu bar. Press a global hotkey, type to filter your history, and hit Return to paste into the app you were using. Everything stays on your Mac, with no accounts and no network access.

## Highlights

- Global hotkey (default `⇧⌘V`, rebindable) opens a floating search panel near the pointer.
- Filters as you type, with substring and fuzzy matching.
- Return pastes, `⌥Return` pastes as plain text, `⌘1`–`⌘9` paste a row directly, `⌘P` pins, and Delete removes.
- Captures text, rich text, files and images. Duplicates move to the top.
- Skips concealed and transient items (such as password manager copies). You can also ignore apps and pause capture.
- Settings for history size (20–999), launch at login, copy sound and Clear History (pinned items are kept).

## Install

1. Download `ClipRecallBar-macOS.zip`, unzip it and move `ClipRecallBar.app` to `/Applications`.
2. The app is open source and not notarized, so run:

 ```bash
 xattr -cr /Applications/ClipRecallBar.app
 ```

3. Right-click the app and choose **Open** the first time.

Pasting directly into other apps needs Accessibility permission. Without it, items are copied and you press `⌘V` yourself. Requires macOS 14+.
