No clipboard manager

[Ad47uk]

I am surprised that there is no clipboard manager built into Mac OS, Windows 10 had one, not that I even used it as I used a third party one, I found one called copy clip for the mac, it seems ok if a bit basic

Clipboard viewer in Finder – Edit – Show Clipboard
Free
CopyQ - “Clipboard Manager with Advanced Features” https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/
Maccy - “Clipboard manager for macOS” https://maccy.app
Clop “Clipboard optimizer for images” https://lowtechguys.com/clop/

There are tons of Clipboard Managers available for the Mac (though not built-in). I've been using CopyLess for years and found it quite nice (and free).

I've never needed a clipboard manager.
For security & privacy reasons, a “clean clipboard after” option would be nice in future macOS versions.
A solution now https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/331203

Paid ones can have additional features which you might find worthwhile. I use iClip http://www.iclipapp.com/.

the one in finder is a bit limited and not really a manager. Copy clip is ok, but I will have a look at the others thanks

I used to think I had no use for one, but I tried one called Ditto on windows and I change my mind, A option to clear the clipboard on shutdown is a good idea.

No doubt, I have spent far too much at the moment, with buyinbg this mac and other stuff, over £1,500. But at some point in the future I may have a look at paid ones Cheers.

Cheers for that

ClipMenu was ideal. I loved that program and I used it a lot. Its repacement, Clipy, doesn't work. I have found nothing to rival ClipMenu. A huge loss.

ClipMenu was ideal.

ClipMenu 0.4.3 works in Ventura.

 

[countermoon]

Got a download link? I could try it again.

 

[bogdanw]

I've tried with ClipMenu_0.4.3.dmg from https://github.com/patkujawa-wf/ClipMenuScripts

 

[countermoon]

It works! Fantastic! Thanks.

I'm using 0.4.4a12

An updated fork of the original - ClipMenu-1.0.0a1.dmg https://github.com/nishanthb/ClipMenu but I don't know if it has everything you are looking for.

Unfortunately, ClipMenu doesn't seem to work anymore in Sonoma. The menu keeps flashing and it's difficult to select anything. Is there any alternatives?

 

[smirking]

I've been on the hunt for a replacement for ClipMenu ever since upgrading to Sonoma myself. All the better ones are subscription based and do way more than I want and the purchasable ones don't work the way I want.

I finally found something perfect. It's almost an exact clone of ClipMenu. It's Clipy.

I now use "PastePal" as my clipboard manager (I particularly like the sync between devices).

I use something called copy clip, it is simple, but does the job. I expect there are better ones around. i use Ditto on Windows, it is good, but not available on Mac. Windows have one built in now, but I still prefer using Ditto.
