Hotstash Clipboard

Hey r/macapps 👋 I'm the solo dev. I've been building Hotstash, a menu-bar clipboard manager for macOS, and just shipped a big 4.0 update. Would love

honest feedback — good or brutal.

The basics

- 📋 Clipboard history — automatically keeps everything you copy: text, links, code, images. Unlimited and instantly searchable.

- ⌨️ Fast access — global hotkey opens your history anywhere; ⌘1–⌘9 to paste any item by position; multi-paste to combine several clips into one

paste (inline or on new lines). All shortcuts are rebindable.

- 📌 Pin & reorder the clips you reuse.

The part I'm most excited about

- 🧩 Transforms — reshape text before you paste: UPPERCASE, lowercase, slugify, format/minify JSON, Base64/URL encode, JWT decode, trim whitespace,

strip HTML, extract URLs, word count, wrap in quotes/brackets… plus image ops (resize, grayscale, rotate, flip, PNG/WebP).

- 🛒 Transforms Marketplace — build your own transforms (small JavaScript for text, a visual step pipeline for images), test them live, and share

them. Install ones other people made. It's the "make it yours" layer.

Other 4.0 stuff

- ☁️ iCloud sync — history + installed transforms follow you across all your Macs. No account needed, just iCloud. Everything stays in your private

iCloud — nothing on my servers.

- 🔒 Privacy-first — copies from password managers (concealed content) are never captured.

Honest disclosure: it's a paid app (one-time, with a free trial 30 days, no subscription). Marketplace sign-in is optional and only for publishing/rating.

What I'm asking:

1. Try it and tell me what's missing or annoying — I genuinely want the criticism.

2. If you like it, an honest App Store review would help a tiny indie app a lot. 🙏

🎁 Giveaway: I've got 5 Pro codes to hand out will be found on the first comment.
