Lunch at noon, then the goats on the town hall at 12:00 sharp. Meet at Stary Rynek 1, 61-772 Poznańcopied by the fountain.
Train back at 18:40, platform 4.
Copy on select
When you finish selecting text, Hi Copy presses ⌘C for you. A small "copied" bubble rises over the cursor, so you know it worked.
Clipboard history
⌘⇧V opens the history over whatever you're in, without taking you out of it. Type to search, ↩ puts the clip back on your clipboard.
Private by design
The history is a file on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no sync.
Kept in ~/Library/Application Support/HiCopy/history.json. It never leaves the Mac.
Copies that password managers mark as concealed or temporary never make it into the history.
Copy on select never fires in a password field. Clear the whole history from the menu bar anytime.
Keyboard first
From any app. Pressed again, it brings the panel to the front.
The search field is ready the moment the panel opens.
Move through the list without touching the mouse.
The clip goes back on your clipboard, ready for ⌘V. A click does the same.
⌫ with an empty search, ⌘⌫ always.
Close the panel and your clipboard stays as it was.

No trial, no subscription, no account. A short welcome guide asks for Accessibility, which macOS needs before an app can see your selections and press ⌘C, and offers to open Hi Copy at login.
