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.

- 📱Mobile app — in order to paste with transformers on the mobile and get all mac features here not just the sync

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 20 Pro codes to hand out.

I have always been using clipboards on my mac, but just for history usage... now I created my own clipboard which works perfectly on macos and ios.
You can paste last up to 5 items on ios and last n items on mac... you can transform your text before pasting, remove the whitespaces making it sentence case etc...

or search by: hotstash clipboard

please give it a go and give me your reviews

FOR IOS:
THE KEYBOARD THAT PASTES ANYTHING
Switch to the Hotstash keyboard in any app and your recent clips are right there. Tap to insert. No app-switching, no re-copying. Swipe between Recents and Pinned, paste your last 2-5 clips at once, or apply a transform before inserting - UPPERCASE, trim, Base64, format JSON, and more.
SYNCED WITH YOUR MAC
Copy something on your Mac and it's waiting on your iPhone. Pins, history, and installed transforms sync privately through iCloud. Nothing touches
CAPTURE ON THE GO
• Copy anywhere, open the keyboard — your clip is already saved
• Save from any app with the Share sheet
• One-tap save from Control Center
• Text inside screenshots is searchable (OCR from your Mac)

TRANSFORM MARKETPLACE
Browse community-built text transforms and install them with one tap. They appear in every picker and sync to your Mac. Build your own on the Mac and use them on iPhone.
