What’s still worth building in the clipboard manager space

Every two weeks, I see someone announcing a new clipboard manager. Honestly, it’s become a running joke at this point.

We already have some genuinely beloved apps in this category. Maccy is the minimalist leader relied upon by many. Pastebot remains the go-to for power users, thanks to its filters and one-time purchase. Raycast and Alfred have excellent built-in history features. These tools already address everyday needs very well.

In my view, after Apple introduced native clipboard history in Tahoe, the bar was raised significantly. I feel most new apps seem to solve problems that are already well addressed. If I were advising a fellow developer considering this category today, I’d recommend focusing on three areas:

1. AI-native semantic search that runs locally
2. Proper end-to-end encrypted sync across devices
3. Advanced developer workflows with structured transforms and secret handling.

PS: Just sharing my observations after spending time examining the market. I’m not here to mock or criticise anyone building in this space. I genuinely want to see the category improve and believe these areas hold the most potential.

I set out to build a "batch resize" tool. 10 months later I accidentally built a Lightroom competitor.

PNG -> webp

Do you know of an app that converts PNG files to the WebP format? It should allow you to select multiple files and then convert all the selected ones.
