A certain large software concern might take issue with the name. Mac users of a certain age might just run…

So technically the OS is supposed to be handling this, or at the least whatever app you're in is supposed to signal the MIME to the pasteboard. They even updated the APIs for it this year. I'm not complaining, just giving away loose headsup that they might rugpull you. Apple is particularly not a fan of oblique data transformations, especially since malware keeps going after the user's pasteboards.

Something worth implementing is multiple layers to the pasteboard content, so you're at least maintaining the original raw bytes. That and I always wanted a pasteboard that let you append contents to it. Just some ideas to consider

Neat, I was actually looking for something like this a few months ago to help automate part of a workflow.

Be kind of nice if this also worked as a library rather than having all the workings in internal where they can't be called.

Unrelated: Is yo.txt in the root just junk?

Probably worth knowing, there’s already a popular clipboard manager in the wild for MacOS called Clipy.

clippy is kind of taken (a very popular rust linter). Suggest considering a new name to differentiate yourself!

linux compat would've been nice
