Apps We Love: Reincubate Camo Review
Using your iPhone camera as an external webcam is an easy yet effective affair, and Cam, aims to do just…
It’s pretty hard to think about using computers without the copy-and-paste functions. And, Clipboard stores everything you copy from the Internet, documents or elsewhere.
As it happens, however,
Did you ever copy one thing, then you got distracted and copied another one, so you lost the first?
Do you ever want to copy multiple items before pasting them somewhere?
If you’re like most Mac users then the answer to these questions is a loud “YES!”
Then, what you need is a supercharged clipboard that keeps track of everything you copy.
Apple already has a powerful feature up its sleeve, called Universal Clipboard. This, however, only allows you to share clipboard information between iOS and macOS devices.
For most of us, that’s not enough since there is no extended history. I mean, it’s nice to access the clipboard of a device from another, but it doesn’t help us manage what we copy.
This is where the third-party clipboard managers come in.
The standard Mac clipboard lets you copy and paste only one element at a time. The third-party dedicated Clipboard Manager, on the other hand, automatically stores a history of all the things you’ve copied.
You can copy, copy, copy and then paste, paste, paste at your convenience.
There is a fantastic bunch of clipboard managers you can check out. In this post, we have made a list of the best clipboard manager for Mac so that you can start saving time and boost your productivity.
While choosing the best clipboard manager for Mac, we had a few factors in mind. They are:
With the factors above in mind, we have tested and here are the clipboard managers that topped our list:
Paste 3 should be your first option if you are looking for a more advanced clipboard manager for Mac. Though you may have to pay a little extra, this tool brings terrific features like support for text and non-text data, multi-device synchronization, and intelligent search.
More importantly, you can access all these features from your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Altogether, Paste 3 is going to help you skyrocket your productivity.
Who Is It For?
We recommend Paste 3 to professionals who need to manage a diverse collection of clipboard entries. Paste 3 is a package that caters to people with different levels of proficiency as well. We should also commend the perks of having multi-device apps and sync.
Why Yes?
Why No?
What’s the Price?
Paste 3 is available on a subscription model, which costs you $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year. You should note that a single subscription gives you access to the iOS and iPadOS apps as well. Alternatively, you could get Paste 3 via Setapp, a subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of macOS and iOS apps.
Unclutter is not a dedicated clipboard manager for macOS. However, the app creates a nice, accessible space where you can store notes, essential files, and everything you copy to the clipboard. As you can guess, such a digital storage space comes with its benefits.
Unclutter helps you in a few ways, though. Instead of keeping track of clipboard entries, you can make your desktop space cleaner. There are also advanced features like multi-device sync.
Why Yes?
Why No?
What’s the Price?
Unclutter for Mac is available for a price of $23.59. You can purchase the app from the App Store as well. It’s also offering a free trial of the tool for a few days. You may want to check that out before committing to the full version.
If you are looking for a clipboard manager with a modern design and UI, you should check out Maccy. Though very simple and has a minimal system footprint, Maccy gets the job done. More importantly, Maccy is free, lightweight, and open-source.
At the same time, Maccy offers several features that we only see in premium clipboard managers for Mac. Some of them are:
Why Yes?
Why No?
What’s the Price?
Maccy is completely free to use, as it comes with an open-source license. You can get the app from its official website and start using it for clipboard data management. We also noticed that Maccy receives regular bug fixes and updates, including the support for macOS Monterey.
CopyClip 2 is perhaps the most-used clipboard manager for macOS. As you can guess from the name, it’s the second iteration of CopyClip. If you prefer using a simple User Interface, you can still get the first-generation version. On the other hand, if you want to stay up-to-date, you should stick to CopyClip 2 itself.
Even if we keep the easy-to-use interface aside, CopyClip 2 offers a fantastic set of features. You can count on them when it comes to seamless clipboard data management.
Who Is It For?
We recommend CopyClip 2 to people who want to manage their clipboard entries with maximum comfort. Although the app comes with a customizable design and additional features, all of these are powered by an impressive User Interface. So, beginners and Pros alike would love CopyClip 2.
Why Yes?
Why No?
What’s the Price?
CopyClip 2 for Mac is available for a one-time purchase fee of just $7.99. However, you can find a 7-day free trial from the official website of the app. Considering that you get regular updates after spending this $7.99, we think the price tag is affordable.
Here goes a list of applications in our primary list but did not make it to the top. However, we do believe that they come with standard features and that you should check them out.
Copied is another clipboard manager that is available for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. You can think of Copied as a toned-down version of Paste 3. Instead of focusing on a vivid User Interface, the Copied app has chosen a simple design. The design of Copied is similar to the other clipboard manager apps that we have seen. But it comes in handy that you can manage text, links, and images with this tool. Copied for Mac is available for a one-time purchase of $5.99, while the iOS app is free to use.
You should check out CopyLess 2 if you need a more colorful and easy-to-manage clipboard manager for the Mac. Unlike the other clipboard managers that we have listed, CopyLess 2 offers a full-sized window UI. You can use the window to copy, direct-paste, and quick-look at the clipboard entries. There are also features to help writers, developers, and coders to handle code snippets quickly. The best part? The significant features in the app are entirely free to use, but iCloud sync and limitless favoriting need in-app purchases.
If you’re looking for a FREE and open-source clipboard manager, Flycut is a decent option. Every time you copy a code piece, Flycut stores it in history. Later, you can paste it using Shift-Command-V even if you have something different in your current clipboard. You can change the hotkey and other settings in preferences. The app solves the problem that your clipboard only has the most recent item you copied saved and available to paste, and you can access a history of up to 40 past items you’ve copied.
We hope you loved our improved coverage of the best clipboard managers for macOS. As you can see, most of these apps have some kind of counterparts for iOS devices. Because of this, you can get a complete clipboard management experience throughout your workflow. You may want to choose one of these apps if you use an iPhone or iPad alongside your Mac.
Now, when it comes to our personal recommendations, Paste 3 and Maccy would be on the list. It is because we value modern design and productive features a lot. It’s also super-nice that Paste 3 comes with the Setapp subscription, which we love at TSB.
