[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).

## [0.2.0] — 2026-07-14

### Added
- Configurable global hotkey (default `` Ctrl+` ``; migrates existing
  users off the old `Cmd+\`` default, which conflicted with macOS
  window-cycling)
- Image thumbnails in the picker, with backfill for existing entries
- Sensitive data redaction — passwords/cards/banking previews show
  `••••` in the list; the full value is still stored and still pastes
- Paste transforms (trim, case, collapse whitespace, pretty JSON,
  single line) via right-click → Transform
- Paste plain / without formatting (`⌥`/`Alt`+click or right-click)
- **Copy only** — right-click → Copy puts content on the clipboard
  without auto-pasting or hiding the window
- Color swatches — hex/rgb/hsl entries show a small preview chip
- Launch at login, wired to macOS Login Items
- `docs/GUIDE.md` — living install + usage reference
- `docs/SHARING.md` — where the app lives and how to share a build
- `docs/TESTING.md`, `docs/LAUNCH-AT-LOGIN.md`, `docs/PRODUCT.md`
- Visual walkthrough script (`npm run test:visual`) and headed test
  runner (`npm run test:headed`)

### Changed
- Reliable left-click paste (mousedown instead of click, delayed
  window-blur hide) — fixes intermittent missed pastes
- Image paste now writes a real clipboard image instead of text

### Performance
- Clipboard polling watches macOS `NSPasteboard` `changeCount` instead
  of hashing clipboard contents on a fixed timer — eliminates busy CPU
  usage while idle
- Picker list/search IPC returns truncated text previews and image
  thumbnails only; full content (including image blobs) is fetched
  lazily, only when an item is actually pasted
- Frontend refreshes on `clipboard-changed` / window-focus events plus
  a cheap `latest_entry_id` poll, instead of reloading all rows every
  second
- SQLite opened with `journal_mode=WAL` + `synchronous=NORMAL` so the
  UI can read while the background poller writes
- List rows are memoized (`React.memo`) so selection/focus changes no
  longer re-render every row's preview

## [0.1.0] — initial

- Menu bar clipboard manager: capture text/images/files, full-text
  search (SQLite FTS5), multi-select, pin, paste-and-refocus via
  AppleScript, resizable window, dark/light mode, auto-trim history
