# maCopy A fast, native macOS clipboard manager that lives in your menu bar. Built with Tauri 2, React, TypeScript, and SQLite. ![macOS](https://img.shields.io/badge/macOS-10.15+-black?logo=apple) ![Tauri](https://img.shields.io/badge/Tauri-2-blue?logo=tauri) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green) ## Features - **Menu bar app** — no dock icon, stays out of your way - **Global hotkey** — `Cmd+Shift+V` opens the window from anywhere - **Clipboard monitoring** — polls every 500ms for text, images, and file paths - **Full-text search** — instant filtering via SQLite FTS5 - **Quick paste** — `Cmd+1` through `Cmd+9` to paste the Nth item directly into the previous app - **Paste & return** — clicking an entry copies it to clipboard, hides the window, and auto-pastes into the previously-focused app - **Multi-select** — `Cmd+Click` to toggle, `Shift+Arrow` or `Shift+Click` to range-select, `Cmd+A` for all, `Enter` to paste selected - **Pin entries** — pinned items stay at the top and are never auto-deleted - **Context menu** — right-click for Paste, Pin/Unpin, Delete (with multi-select support) - **Resizable window** — drag edges to resize; size is remembered between sessions - **Window positioning** — choose where the window appears: near cursor, center, or any corner (configurable in Settings) - **Auto-trim** — keeps up to 50K entries (configurable: 1K/5K/10K/50K) - **Dark/light mode** — follows macOS system appearance - **Privacy** — whitespace-only entries are ignored; pause monitoring from the tray ## Prerequisites - **macOS** 10.15+ - **Rust** 1.77+ — [install via rustup](https://rustup.rs) - **Node.js** 18+ and npm - **Xcode Command Line Tools** — `xcode-select --install` - **Accessibility permission** — required for auto-paste (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → add maCopy) ## Quick Start ```bash git clone gitea@10.0.30.169:ilia/maCopy.git cd maCopy npm install npm run tauri dev ``` The app will compile the Rust backend, start the Vite dev server, and launch the menu bar app. ## Usage | Action | How | |---|---| | Open/close window | Click tray icon or press `Cmd+Shift+V` | | Paste an entry | Click it, or press `Enter` | | Quick paste | `Cmd+1` through `Cmd+9` | | Search | Just start typing | | Select multiple | `Cmd+Click` or `Shift+Arrow` | | Select all | `Cmd+A` | | Delete | `Backspace` or `Delete` (on selected items) | | Pin/unpin | Right-click → Pin/Unpin | | Settings | Tray icon → Settings… | | Dismiss | `Escape` or click outside | ## Development ### Project Structure ``` maCopy/ ├── src/ # React + TypeScript frontend │ ├── main.tsx # Entry point │ ├── App.tsx # Main app: state, keyboard nav, multi-select │ ├── App.test.tsx # App integration tests │ ├── index.css # Tailwind v4 + custom theme tokens │ ├── types.ts # Shared TypeScript interfaces │ ├── test/ # Test setup and factories │ │ ├── setup.ts # Tauri API mocks for jsdom │ │ └── factories.ts # makeEntry(), makeSettings() │ └── components/ │ ├── SearchBar.tsx │ ├── ClipboardList.tsx # Entry list with multi-select, type badges │ ├── ContextMenu.tsx # Right-click menu with multi-select labels │ └── SettingsPanel.tsx # Toggles, max history, window position ├── src-tauri/ # Rust backend │ ├── Cargo.toml │ ├── tauri.conf.json # Tauri config, permissions, window │ └── src/ │ ├── main.rs # Binary entry point │ ├── lib.rs # App setup: tray, hotkey, window management │ ├── clipboard.rs # Background polling thread (500ms, SHA-256 dedup) │ ├── db.rs # SQLite CRUD + FTS5 + settings + auto-trim │ └── commands.rs # Tauri IPC commands ├── .cursor/rules/ # Cursor AI rules for this project ├── package.json ├── vite.config.ts ├── vitest.config.ts └── tsconfig.json ``` ### Scripts | Command | Description | |---|---| | `npm run tauri dev` | Run in development mode with hot reload | | `npm run tauri build` | Build a release `.app` bundle | | `npm test` | Run frontend tests (Vitest, 47 tests) | | `npm run test:rust` | Run Rust backend tests (27 tests) | | `npm run test:all` | Run all tests (frontend + backend) | | `npm run lint` | TypeScript type-check | | `npm run check` | Lint + all tests | ### Tech Stack | Layer | Technology | |---|---| | Framework | [Tauri 2](https://v2.tauri.app) | | Frontend | React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4 | | Backend | Rust, rusqlite (bundled SQLite) | | Clipboard | [arboard](https://crates.io/crates/arboard) for system clipboard access | | Mouse position | [core-graphics](https://crates.io/crates/core-graphics) for global cursor coordinates | | Search | SQLite FTS5 with content-sync triggers | | Hotkey | tauri-plugin-global-shortcut | | Autostart | tauri-plugin-autostart | | Testing | Vitest + @testing-library/react (frontend), `cargo test` (backend) | ## Architecture ### Clipboard Polling A dedicated Rust thread polls the system clipboard every 500ms using the `arboard` crate. Each new clipboard value is hashed (SHA-256) and compared against the last known hash to avoid duplicates. Text, images (stored as base64 PNG data URIs), and file paths are all captured. ### Paste & Return When you select an entry, maCopy writes it to the system clipboard, hides its window, waits 250ms for macOS to refocus the previous app, then simulates `Cmd+V` via AppleScript. This requires Accessibility permission. ### SQLite + FTS5 The database uses a content-synced FTS5 virtual table with triggers that automatically keep the full-text index in sync with the `clipboard_entries` table. This enables instant prefix search as you type. ### Window Behavior The window uses `titleBarStyle: "overlay"` for native resize handles while keeping the frameless aesthetic. It's always-on-top and hides on blur. Position is determined by the user's setting (near cursor via CoreGraphics, center, or a screen corner). ## Data Storage The SQLite database is stored at: ``` ~/Library/Application Support/maCopy/clipboard.db ``` ## Testing ### Frontend (47 tests) ```bash npm test ``` Tests cover App integration, SearchBar, ClipboardList (including multi-select), ContextMenu, and SettingsPanel. Tauri APIs are mocked in `src/test/setup.ts`. ### Backend (27 tests) ```bash npm run test:rust ``` Tests use in-memory SQLite databases and cover: CRUD operations, FTS5 search, auto-trim with pin preservation, settings persistence, SHA-256 hashing, and PNG encoding. ### All tests ```bash npm run test:all # 74 total tests npm run check # lint + all tests ``` ## Building for Release ```bash npm run tauri build ``` The built `.app` bundle will be in `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/`. ## License MIT
