Clipixir

A friendly and powerful command-line clipboard manager and picker for macOS (and Linux, with minor tweaks).

Features:

• Remembers your clipboard history securely in a local file.
• Duplicate prevention and automatic "recency promotion."
• Usage count and timestamp tracking.
• Interactive search+fuzzy filter from the terminal.
• Keeps only the most relevant 1000 entries—longer-term entries can be trimmed smartly.
• Beautiful colored display, works in any terminal.
