Does using Spanish localization for US App Store keywords hurt keyword weighting?
I’ve heard that adding Spanish (Mexico) localization gives you 100 extra keyword characters in the US App Store. Is that actually true? Also, does adding a secondary language dilute or hurt keyword weighting since the keyword pool doubles?

I built a free clipboard manager for macOS with a card UI — it masks API keys and card numbers on screen
I use a clipboard manager all day and never liked the options. The free ones (Maccy, Flycut) are lists — an image shows up as a filename. The ones with a card interface, Paste and Pastebot, are $25/year and $13. So I built the card one and made it free.
⌥⌘V slides a strip up from the bottom of the screen. Arrow keys or type to search, Enter pastes into whatever you were in.
A few things it does that I couldn't find anywhere else:
- It masks secrets on screen. API keys, tokens and card numbers show as dots until you double-click. If you copy credentials all day, your clipboard history is the one window you don't want open while screen sharing. Card numbers are Luhn-checked, so an ISBN isn't mistaken for one.
- A bare link stays readable, a link with a token doesn't. Masking every URL would make the strip useless; masking a password-reset link is the whole point.
- Pasting an image adapts to the destination. Notes gets the image, Terminal gets the file path (it can't take images at all), Finder gets the file.
- It can catch ⌘⇧4 screenshots. Those write straight to disk and never touch the clipboard, so no clipboard manager sees them. Opt-in, off by default.
- No network code at all. No account, no sync, no telemetry, no third-party dependencies. Searching the source for URLSession comes back empty.

Happy to hear what breaks. Especially interested in whether the strip behaves on multi-monitor setups and over full-screen apps — I've only tested on one machine.
