  3. If Gatekeeper blocks the app, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway" (or right-click the app > Open)

If you see "damaged and can't be opened", clear the quarantine attribute:

xattr -cr /Applications/Clipless.app

Linux

  2. Make it executable and run it
chmod +x Clipless-*.AppImage
./Clipless-*.AppImage

Security warnings

Clipless isn't signed with a commercial code-signing certificate, so your OS may show a warning during installation. This is expected for open-source projects without paid certificates — the app 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 allowlist. Alerts are caused by the lack of code signing, not actual threats.
