any functionality to exclude passwords from making it into the history? This is the most annoying thing with Maccy for me (I literally have complex wrapper scripts that turn it on and off when I'm using my password manager which are flaky and annoying to maintain).

Have you tried CopyQ? I've not used it on MacOS, but on Windows and Linux it can exclude based off window title: https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-omit-...

+1 to copyq. It has a lot of funcionality, you can exclude apps to save clip on log (passwords managers), yo can do personal snippets, images, even create your own scripts.... It has a bit deeper than anything else I tried and yet simply enough to run as is....

That’s one of the most requested feature for now. I will definitely add it, so you can add any app to the list of software that must be ignored. Thanks for your feedback!

Are there special "password" copy methods that mark a clipboard element as such so your app could exclude that instead of relying on an apps list (of course if that other app would use this method)?

One way to implement this would be to have a checkbox to ignore passwords/single words

When checked ignore anything that has a space

Slick UI. Well done.
