Install

1. Download Cliptap.zip from Releases.
2. Move Cliptap.app to /Applications and open it.
3. Cliptap is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS blocks the first open. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cliptap.app.
4. To use the double ⌘ shortcut, allow Cliptap in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. After an update, you may need to turn it off and on again there.

Updates install from inside the app.
