Apple is making it harder and harder for third-party developers to play in the Apple world. Apparently one of the world's most valuable companies wants its pound of flesh by requiring small developers to pay the ransom for access to the App Store. Sequoia has become nearly 100% Apple-only. If it blocked me from running non-Apple apps, I'd quite using Macs (or at least downgrade to Sonoma (or even Ventura). There was a way (as outlined here: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2024/08/07/apple-macos-sequoia-gatekeeper-change-install-unsigned-apps-mac/) but it doesn't work with CopyQ.

I usually use few other copy/paste applications, but wanted to see this new version. Unfortunately, I get a popup that the file is damaged, to move it to the trash. Developer ...?

EXCELLENT!!! very different from other similar applications. Convenient to see all clips in one small window where they are listed in the chronological order - newest on top. There you can also edit them, pin any clip, so it's stays there and not deleted after the clips reach maximum(which you set up, 200...300...etc). It's from GitHub: for windows, linux and Mac.

Not terribly convincing when all the screenshots are of the Windows version of the product. :/
