I don't intend to implement it on my own, but I'll merge any PRs which adds this support.
This app being local, simple, with no cloud sync is one of the main reasons I use it and suggest it to others.
But what if you want to migrate machines?
How do you carry your pinned items with you?

You can simply copy $HOME/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy/Data/Library/Application Support/Maccy
to a new machine - it will keep the whole history.

@DigitalDuquette Would you stop using it if it optionally provides iCloud sync?
Good to know! Time Machine does this, right?

No. It would just be a feature I ignored. Clipboard data is mostly ephemeral for me, so anything older than the current day is rarely of interest. I don't have any data to support this claim, I just have a feeling that recent copy data is important, anything else is 😐 .

I think so.

I agree, which is why I don't want to invest time in developing this feature, but I am not opposed as well.

Right, this is why I've emerged from the shadows to comment. I'd hate to have complexity scale out and for this to no longer be as actively supported.
Thanks for your hard work on this great app!
it would be perfect if i can sync all history with icloud. i will always use this app in my lifetime.
I have Maccy installed on two Mac Minis on the same local network, often connected by ssh. To my surprise, I just discovered they share a Maccy clipboard history. I have been trying to poke through the code to figure out how on earth that could happen. First assumption was icloud syncing, but nothing in the settings or docs about that. Any clue what is going on??
@mpr1255 Not really, there is no synchronization built-in Maccy so I can't imagine how this works in your case.

When I first set up the second one it was by using the Mac transfer settings/app with a thunderbolt cable. Somehow maybe that is playing a role? I agree super weird. Don't really know how I'd even investigate what's causing it. Anyway, it's actually kinda handy.
I can imagine this happening if either somehow the clipboard itself is shared between 2 computers (Universal Clipboard or some other Apple tech) or the directory ~/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy/Data/Library/Application Support/Maccy/
is synchronized between 2 computers.
trying to keep maccy settings sync using dotfiles but the location stated above doesn't exist
@xkoldxx You can backup the whole ~/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy
if you want.
This is NOT a good idea imo, imagine all those passwords and credit card details that would end up synced to the cloud somewhere...
For users with multiple Macs, iCloud sync is a very necessary feature. I only use Mac mini at home, and when I go out, I only use MBP. Without iCloud sync, I would not be able to access some important clipboard history.
Hi guys,
What do you think of the idea to sync pinned items and history with iCloud for later retrieval in case you're losing access to your device?
That would be great!
