ClipBuddy
ClipBuddy is a Mac clipboard manager that saves copied items, organizes clippings, and helps you quickly find and reuse text and images.
What is ClipBuddy?
ClipBuddy is a clipboard manager for macOS that helps users collect, organize, search, and reuse copied content. It is designed for people who frequently work with repeated text, links, notes, and image clippings and want more control than the standard Mac clipboard provides. The app stores clipboard history, keeps clippings from different apps in one place, and lets users organize saved items for later use. It also supports common productivity tasks such as finding older copied content, grouping clips, and pasting saved items back into other apps. ClipBuddy is published by Jian Li and is aimed at Mac users who want a lightweight utility for everyday copy-and-paste workflows.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Clipboard managers handle whatever you copy, which can include passwords, personal messages, financial details, and other sensitive information. That access is normal for this kind of app, but it means you should be thoughtful about leaving private data in clipboard history. If you use ClipBuddy, avoid copying highly sensitive information unless you are comfortable with it being stored for later recall, and clear saved clips you no longer need.
Recommendation: Keep ClipBuddy if you actively use clipboard history or saved clippings in your daily work. If you do not rely on those features, you can remove it with little effect beyond losing its stored clipboard history and organized clips.
