Structure

The project is seperated in multiple modules, all serve single or multiple uses depending on their importance.

Module	Description
Copyboard	Contains all the UI-related elements, including Settings, setting up the menubar, and initializing the monitors.
ClipKit	Handles all the storage management, monitoring, pausing, contains default ignored content along with handling the app blacklist.
DataTypesKit	Provides a large list of supported clipboard data types, used by Copyboard to filter and display the proper content to the user.
MenuBarKit	Manages the menubar and displays the content window, with support for features like right-click actions and custom behavior.

Types

Some clipboard items are always ignored by default to protect your privacy. Documented on nspasteboard.org, certain types especially custom or app specific ones can contain sensitive information and should not be stored. By default, we automatically skip these types. We also always ignore some specific types related to Apple's remote clipboard and Copyboard itself.

Always Ignored Types:

• Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!
• com.apple.is-remote-clipboard

Apps Types:

• org.p0deje.Maccy
• com.agilebits.onepassword
• net.antelle.keeweb

Transient Types:

• org.nspasteboard.TransientType
• de.petermaurer.TransientPasteboardType
• com.typeit4me.clipping
• org.nspasteboard.AutoGeneratedType

Concealed Types:

• org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType

If you maintain your own clipboard manager and want to ignore copies from Copyboard, you can put thewonderofyou.Copyboard in your type blacklist. This should avoid overlap.
