Zmina
Zmina is not just a clipboard manager: it works on the paste itself. Press ⌘⇧V instead of ⌘V, and Zmina looks at what you copied and which app you're pasting into (or which site, in a browser), then offers a short list of actions that fit both: remove tracking codes from a link, wrap code as a code block for chat, redact a token from a log before it reaches a bug report, turn CSV into a Markdown table. Pick one or chain several, see exactly what will change, and it pastes.
It also keeps a searchable history of everything you copy, labelled by type, with syntax highlighting and filters like type:json, has:secret or when:week. Copied files show their contents. Secrets are flagged and masked, and copies from password managers are skipped.
No AI: detectors and rules. Nothing you copy leaves your Mac. No account, no telemetry. One-time purchase, lifetime license, 14-day free trial. Built in Rust with Tauri. macOS 14 or later.
