Partial A native macOS clipboard manager with OCR and translation is vibe-codeable, but one-click import from Paste's proprietary history and pinboard database requires reverse-engineering an undocumented format.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native Swift/AppKit app using the Vision framework for OCR and an OpenAI-compatible HTTP client for translation, with a local database such as SQLite or Core Data. The hard part is reading Paste's private storage format for import, which needs file-format reverse-engineering and possibly macOS sandbox and permission knowledge. Ongoing maintenance also depends on Paste not changing that format.
