I am pleased to introduce Clibor, a clipboard history manager I developed for Mac users.

This application is particularly useful for programming, writing blog posts, and handling text input tasks.

Install

Download the DMG file from the link below.

Open the downloaded DMG file, then drag and drop it into the Applications folder to install.

Click the Clibor icon to launch the application.

On the first startup only, the following dialog will appear. Click “Open” to proceed.

After startup, the Clibor icon will appear in the menu bar and run in the background.
(It is the leftmost icon in the image below.)

For other initial settings, please refer to the article below.

Basic Usage

Clipboard History

You can display the Clibor main screen by quickly pressing the Command key twice on your keyboard.

Clibor automatically monitors the clipboard and saves a history of every copied item.

Keyboard operation is also supported.
The left frame below displays shortcut keys, allowing you to select an item by pressing the corresponding key.

You can store up to 10,000 clipboard history records.

Template Text

You can store frequently used sentences as template text and transfer them to the clipboard anytime.

Unlike clipboard history, where the oldest items are automatically deleted, template text remains saved permanently.

Template text can be organized into groups, allowing for efficient text management.
By registering template text, you can quickly transfer it to the clipboard for easy pasting.

Convenient Usage

FIFO/LIFO Function

Clibor’s FIFO/LIFO feature allows you to copy and paste multiple texts in succession, streamlining your workflow.

Normally, when performing repetitive copy-paste actions, you would follow this tedious sequence:
Copy → Paste → Copy → Paste → Copy → Paste…

With Clibor’s FIFO/LIFO function, you can instead:
Copy → Copy → Copy → Paste → Paste → Paste…, making the process much more efficient.

Try copying multiple texts and see how it works!

Text Formatting

You can customize text formatting freely to suit your needs.

For example, if you want to replace a specific string, enter the following:

You can use regular expressions for string replacement, allowing for flexible customization.

Additionally, Clibor can automatically format text when updating the clipboard.
As soon as a string is copied, the specified formatting rules are applied instantly.
