Hey everyone! 👋

I got tired of the constant back-and-forth when filling out forms or doing data entry:

Copy → Switch → Paste → Switch back → Copy → Switch → Paste...

So I built **Qboard** - a simple menu bar app that lets you:

**Copy multiple items first, then paste them in order (FIFO)** Works on macOS **

## How it works:

  1. **Copy Mode** - Copy items anywhere (Cmd+C) - they all get queued
  2. **Paste Mode** - Click "Next Item" → Paste (Cmd+V) → Repeat

## Example:

- Copy "John", "Doe", "john@email.com" from a document

- Switch to your form

- Click Next → Paste → Click Next → Paste → Click Next → Paste

- Done!

 

**Super useful for:**

- Form filling

- Data entry from spreadsheets

- Moving multiple values between apps

- Any repetitive copy-paste tasks

 

## Features:

- Menu bar app (stays out of the way)

- Color-coded icon (Gray/Blue/Green for status)

- Auto-switches back to Copy Mode when done

- Free & open source (MIT license)

 

**Install:**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/lokeshwar2585/qboard
cd qboard && ./install.sh && python3 qboard.py
```

**GitHub:**  https://github.com/lokeshwar2585/qboard

Built it for myself but thought others might find it useful. Feedback welcome!

**Tech:** Python, works on macOS 10.14+
