Security Warnings

Clipless is not signed with a commercial code signing certificate, so your OS may show a security warning during installation. This is expected for open-source projects without paid certificates. The application is built from public source code.

Updates

Clipless checks for updates automatically and notifies you when a new version is available. To update manually, download the latest release and install over your existing installation. Settings and clipboard history are preserved.

Troubleshooting

Windows: “App can’t run on this PC” – Ensure you’re running 64-bit Windows.

macOS: “Damaged and can’t be opened” – Run xattr -cr /Applications/Clipless.app in Terminal.

Linux: “Permission denied” – Run chmod +x Clipless-*.AppImage.

Antivirus blocking installation – Add Clipless to your antivirus whitelist. Alerts are caused by the lack of code signing, not actual threats.
