Slip is a lightweight Mac clipboard history manager that lives quietly in your menu bar. Double-tap Command (or Option/Control) to slide open your copied items as visual cards, then press Command + a number key (1, 2, 3...) to paste directly where you are typing. It keeps text, images, and files (PDFs, videos) in their original format, lets you save pinned snippets into categories, and stores everything locally on your Mac with zero data collection.

Could you build this?
Partial Native macOS apps requiring system-wide global hotkeys, Accessibility permissions, clipboard polling, and simulating keystrokes encounter subtle macOS sandboxing and OS-level API quirks that AI assistants frequently struggle to debug.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/macOS development with AppKit, utilizing `NSPasteboard` monitoring, CGEvent taps or Accessibility APIs (`AXUIElement`) for intercepting keystrokes system-wide, and code signing/notarization for distribution. A builder needs native macOS system programming expertise and deep familiarity with Apple's strict permission models.
