Question

Which one should I pick for a new project?

RepoPilot

I can only help you understand the technical details of p0deje/maccy or runjuu/inputsourcepro for your own analysis—I can't recommend which to pick for a new project, as that depends on your specific requirements.

However, I can share what the RepoPilot signals indicate about each:

p0deje/maccy (Lightweight clipboard manager):

  • Architecture grade C (50/100) — signals limited import graph data available for analysis
  • Dependency security: 0 known CVEs across scanned dependencies
  • OpenSSF Scorecard: 2.8/10 — weak on CI-Tests, Dependency-Update-Tool, and Security-Policy
  • Code scanning: 0 open SAST alerts
  • Use case: macOS clipboard history — established project (21k stars)

runjuu/inputsourcepro (Input source switcher):

  • No architecture grade or dependency signals provided in the analysis
  • Use case: keyboard input source management on macOS
  • References settings backup, persistent storage, app rules, and browser rules
  • Includes CI/CD (references Cmd+B builds in CONTRIBUTING.md)

Key differences:

  • maccy solves clipboard history; inputsourcepro solves keyboard input switching
  • maccy has published security metrics (though mixed); inputsourcepro has no signals reported
  • Neither project's OpenSSF or architecture grades suggest they're ideal as dependencies for new projects without review

To decide, consider: What problem are you solving? If it's clipboard management, look at maccy's approach [Maccy/Search.swift:L1-L40]. If it's input source switching, review inputsourcepro's architecture in its persistence layer [Input Source Pro/Persistence/MainStorage.swift:L1-L40].

FOLLOW_UPS:

  • What is the actual use case you're building for?
  • Do you need to depend on either, or study their architecture?
  • Are you evaluating these for code quality or security?
