Show HN: The missing clipboard history for macOS that idles at 16 MB

Tags: macos, clipboard, rust, appkit, benchmarking

Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

A native macOS clipboard-history popup written in Rust that polls NSPasteboard and pastes clips back into the previous app via ⌘⇧V. Its distinguishing feature is an unusually rigorous cross-stack footprint benchmark (AppKit vs GPUI vs Tauri vs Raycast), making AppKit the released frontend because it idles at roughly half the memory.

Target audience: macOS power users and Rust desktop-app developers interested in native UI memory footprint
