## Description

Maccy is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS that captures and stores text and images copied to the system clipboard. It provides a searchable interface for retrieving historical content, allowing users to access previously copied items through a keyboard-driven workflow.

The application distinguishes itself by prioritizing privacy and performance through automated filtering and local data management. It employs pattern matching to identify and exclude sensitive information, such as passwords, from being saved. All history is maintained in a local database, with an in-memory index that enables instantaneous filtering of entries as the user types.

The tool integrates directly into the system environment, using event hooks to manage its interface without interrupting background processes. It is designed to be operated entirely via keyboard shortcuts, facilitating the selection and reuse of clipboard history across different applications.
