Into the menu bar,
once and done.
A disk image, or a single line in the terminal. However it arrives, Ginkgo settles into the menu bar—and the free tier already gives you the full copy → insight → adopt loop.
TWO WAYS IN
Drag it in, or type one line
Both paths install the same Ginkgo—pick whichever feels like home.
Disk image
Download from GitHub Releases, open it, and drag Ginkgo into Applications. If Gatekeeper hesitates on first launch, approve it in System Settings → Privacy & Security—or use the one-line command instead.
Past releases stay on the same page.
One command
Paste this into Terminal: the installer fetches the latest release, places Ginkgo in Applications, and opens it for you.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usual2970/ginkgo/main/script/install.sh | bashFor those who live in the terminal.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Requirements & the free tier
macOS 14 or later. Ginkgo lives in the menu bar, stays out of the Dock, and never steals focus.
The free tier includes 50 clips—copying and plug-in insights fully unlocked, no account required.
Before you activate a license, Ginkgo makes no network requests at all; history stays on this Mac.
And after 50 clips?
The free tier stops saving new clips but keeps every one you have. $2.99/year or $5.99 once unlocks unlimited history.
