Featherweight clipboard history for macOS

A clipboard history that only does one thing, idling far below all-in-one launchers

Problem
Users install a heavyweight launcher just to get paste history, then notice high memory usage. Many only need clipboard history yet are forced into a sprawling launcher that consumes resources they don't want to spend.
Solution
A native macOS menu-bar clipboard manager that is deliberately minimal: captures text, images, and links, offers fuzzy search, a global hotkey, pinned items, and keeps idle memory in the tens of megabytes.
Users
macOS developers, designers, and writers who copy-paste all day, plus owners of low-RAM Macs who care about footprint
MVP
Menu-bar app with global hotkey; text/image/link history with fuzzy search; pinning and one-key paste; per-app exclusion for sensitive content; publish idle-memory benchmarks as the hook
Revenue
Free core plus one-time Pro purchase for unlimited history, iCloud sync, multi-device, and custom rules
Why now
Native frameworks make extreme lightness achievable, while all-in-one launchers keep getting heavier, leaving room for focused single-purpose tools
