jev-paste (Jev Paste for macOS)

It brings context-aware inline clipboard completion to macOS. When you copy text like conference agendas, itineraries, bug reports, contact info or multi-field messages, it decomposes the content into discrete semantic entities — event title, description, dates, venue or address, keynote speakers, deadlines, emails and phone numbers.

Copy text and JEF decomposes the fields into a history pool in memory. When you focus an appropriate input, a clean inline ghost hint with a Tab badge covers the placeholder. Pressing Tab commits the matched text and replaces any previous draft, while typing or pressing Escape dismisses the hint without touching your clipboard.

It recognizes whether it should suggest before showing anything, and stays silent in search bars, browser URL bars, filter fields, password or PIN inputs and untagged generic boxes, so it never spams uncalled suggestions.

It keeps the full clipboard history and ranks candidates with an exponential half-life time-decay model where T-half is 6 hours, so freshly copied content gets priority while older relevant history remains accessible. Retention defaults to one day and is adjustable from one hour up to keep-forever.

When copied text contains Key: value lines — receipts, tickets, exported records or OCR output, including values on the next line — a field whose label matches a key gets that value with no need to know the field type. It works for Chinese and English labels.

No. Native paste remains 100% untouched: ⌘V or typing works as always, and typing any character, backspacing or pressing Escape dismisses the hint instantly. Mouse events pass straight through, so you can click anywhere to position the cursor.

macOS 14 or newer, Swift 6 and an MIT license per the README badges; it runs menu-bar only with LSUIElement = true, so it adds no Dock clutter. The digest's captured README does not show how JEF API credentials are configured, so check the repository for the current setup before relying on it.
