Tags: macos, clipboard, cli-tool

Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

pbi is a macOS command-line tool that unifies pbcopy and pbpaste into a single binary with image awareness, allowing users to pipe images to and from the clipboard. Its automatic detection of input/output mode and terminal graphics protocol support make it a practical improvement over the native utilities.
