MimerMimer is a clipboard manager that lives in the menu bar and remembers everything you copy. Press Shift-Command-V and a command palette opens with your history, newest first; type to search, press Return to paste. Mimer recognizes what each clip is, such as a link, code, a color, a git commit SHA, an issue key or a file path, and shows a matching symbol, with a live swatch for colors. Command-K transforms a clip on the spot with a live preview, for example changing case, Base64 or URL encoding, pretty-printing JSON, turning JSON into TypeScript or decoding a JWT.Productivity
TameoTameo is a clipboard manager that lives in the menu bar and keeps a history of what you copy. Press Command-Shift-V and a palette opens at your cursor; press a number key from 1 to 0 to paste an item straight into the app you were using, or just start typing to search the whole history. Tameo keeps text, rich text, PDF, images, file paths, links and colour codes, and it can read the text inside copied images and screenshots with on-device OCR, so you can find a screenshot by its words.Productivity
ClipFlowClipFlow adds a clipboard history to the Mac, much like the Win+V history Windows users know. It sits in the menu bar and remembers the last 50 things you copied, text and images alike. Press Command-Shift-V and a small popup appears just above your cursor. Move through older and newer items with the up and down arrow keys, the way you move through commands in a terminal, then press Return or simply let go of Command to paste the selected item.Productivity
NimclipNimclip is a clipboard history manager that lives in the macOS menu bar. The Mac clipboard keeps only the last thing you copied; Nimclip remembers what came before, so you can press Command-Shift-V, find an earlier item and paste it again. It records text, links, code, images and rich text, keeps the name and icon of the app each item came from, and lets you filter the history by text, links, code or images.Productivity
PestyPesty is a clipboard manager for macOS, inspired by Paste. It keeps a history of everything you copy, including plain text, rich text, links, images, files and colours. Press Command-Shift-V and a full-width strip slides up from the bottom of the screen. Each clip is a card tinted by the app it came from, showing the app icon, the type of content, a preview and when it was copied. Pick one with the arrow keys or Command-1 to Command-9, press Return, and it goes straight into the app you were using.Productivity
JumpcutJumpcut is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS. Every time you cut or copy text, it adds that text to a stack of clippings, so a phone number, URL or code snippet you had a few minutes ago is still within reach even after you have copied something else. It lives in the menu bar as a scissors icon, and you can pick a clipping from its menu or press a global hotkey to flip through the stack in a pop-up bezel, much like the macOS application switcher. When you choose a clipping, Jumpcut puts it on the pasteboard and pastes it into the app you are using.Productivity
CopyQCopyQ is an advanced clipboard manager with powerful editing and scripting features. It watches the system clipboard and saves what you copy in tabs you can organise, so you can copy and paste any earlier item straight into any app. It keeps text, HTML, images and other formats, and you can quickly browse and filter your history, sort, edit, remove and drag items, and add notes and tags to them.Productivity
ClipbaraClipbara keeps a history of everything you copy on your Mac. Press Command-Shift-V and a panel slides up at the bottom of the screen, without taking focus from the app you are working in. Click a clip once and it is back on your clipboard, ready to paste. Clipbara saves text, rich text, HTML, images, links, files and colours, and you can search by content or title, filter by type and date, and move between clips with the arrow keys.Productivity
ClipyClipy is a clipboard extension for macOS. It remembers what you copy, so you can paste something you copied earlier instead of only the last item, and it keeps snippets: pieces of text you use often, organised in folders. Everything is reached from the menu bar or with keyboard shortcuts: Shift-Command-V opens the main menu, Control-Command-V opens your clipboard history, and Shift-Command-B opens your snippets. Settings let you choose how much history to keep, delete old history automatically and leave out items you do not want saved.Productivity
MaccyMaccy is a lightweight, open-source clipboard manager for Mac. It keeps a history of everything you copy, such as text, links and images, and brings it back with one keyboard shortcut, so you never lose something you copied a few minutes ago. Maccy is made by Alex Rodionov and released under the MIT license.Productivity
