Show HN: Draggy – menu bar companion to clippy (better pbcopy)

https://github.com/neilberkman/clippy/blob/main/README.md
2•nberkman•3h ago
You download files in your terminal but need to drag them to web upload fields. Switching to Finder kills flow. Draggy makes clipboard files draggable - copy any file → click menu bar → drag anywhere.

Part of a terminal clipboard suite that replaces pbcopy:

- clippy: Copy files from terminal that paste as actual files (not just contents)

- pasty: Copy file in Finder → `pasty` → file appears in current directory

- draggy: Makes clipboard files draggable for upload fields

Example workflow:

    # download directly to clipboard
    curl -sL https://picsum.photos/300 | clippy    
    # Click draggy in menu bar
    # Drag to web form, Slack, email
Recent downloads with interactive picker:

    clippy -i        # choose from recent files
    clippy -r        # copy most recent download  
    clippy -r 5m     # all downloads from last 5 minutes
Also includes MCP server - Claude Code can place text directly in your clipboard:

    claude mcp add clippy /opt/homebrew/bin/clippy mcp-server
Install:

    brew install neilberkman/clippy/clippy              # CLI tools
    brew install --cask neilberkman/clippy/draggy       # Menu bar app
Technical: CLI tools are Go with Objective-C bindings. draggy is Swift/SwiftUI with zero background activity - only checks clipboard when clicked.

Note: First launch shows macOS security warning (not code-signed). Run: `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Draggy.app`
