After testing the program for a while, we’d found it’s true.
That having said, it would have been great if Cop圜lip 2 had a better-blending UI.Ĭheck Out Cop圜lip 2 ($7.99, 7-day Free Trial available) #3 ClipyĬlipy is often called the missing clipboard manager for Mac OS X.
Personally speaking, we loved the search feature and UI customization. If you ask us, Cop圜lip 2 offers a lot of features for the price you are paying. The Verdict: If you found Cop圜lip inadequate for control and customization, Cop圜lip 2 is the next best one to go for. Pros: Additional features like Search, UI Customization, Touch-bar compatible and Hotkey supportĬons: The UI doesn’t integrate well with macOS You can also decide whether you want to paste the content directly and whether you want to paste formatted text. In addition, there is an option to search for all the recordings, which isn’t present in the free version. Instead of going to macOS menu and clicking on the Cop圜lip 2 icon, you can simply open the window. Unlike the free version, Cop圜lip 2 can record non-text clipboard entries too.įor starters, Cop圜lip 2 lets you set up hotkeys for toggle the window.
If you need better control, hotkey support, and other options, Cop圜lip 2 is a great choice. There is also some room for customization and optimization. It does offer a few extra features that are not present in the free version. Cop圜lip 2 is advanced - and paid - version of our first recommendation. You can also disable recording or enable ‘clip copied’ notifications through the preferences. But, when it comes to recording clipboard entries and accessing them quickly, Cop圜lip is just great. You don’t have a fully-fledged interface or additional features. The Verdict: If you are someone like me, who loves minimal clipboard management, Cop圜lip is perhaps the best choice.
Pros: Simple interface, top-notch macOS integration, minimal footprint, and overall customizability It means that you can configure Cop圜lip to not record entries that are recorded from certain apps. There are also some customization options like blacklisting. It can record a big number of text-based entries, but you can decide how many entries are shown in the interface. It seamlessly integrates with your Mac, which is great. Despite that, this simple tool will boost your productivity like never before. It comes from FIPLAB, a popular developer of utility software.įor one, Cop圜lip does not come with fancy features. Just so you know, Cop圜lip is my personal favorite when it comes to clipboard managers.

At the end of the day, we have come down to 7 best clipboard managers for Mac, offering various levels of features and productivity. Some of them were impressive, some were not. Because I'm always nervous that ClipMenu will break, I hope this review will motivate Cop圜lip developers to step up and 'copy' the versatility of ClipMenu because a capable clipboard manager is an essential operating feature for me (and I think anyone that bothers to use it a while will surely then be spoiled).We tested around 20 Mac apps that offered clipboard management. Finally, that amazing little app hasn't been updated since 2014 but still works flawlessly up thru at least Catalina (I haven't upgraded to Big Sur but expect it will continue working well).
I have Copy Clip and you don't! Me stupid? What took YOU so long to finally get here?Ĭop圜lip functions fine as a basic clipboard manager BUT it still doesn't work as well as the similar free ClipMenu app which has very useful "Snippets", "Shortcuts" and "Actions" (all very useful but the user doesn't have to bother because they don't complicate the interface or basic usability) plus configuration of almost everything imaginable, from the menu bar icon choice to what types of files may be clipped to the quantity of clipped items stored to subfolders on the menu etc etc. And for those who are thinking, "How stupidi of that guy to not have a back up of those 29 pages!!", consder the following. I mean if you're readng this and you do not yet have copy clip installled, please do it now. My astoundment stems from my totally forgetting about thse college days when in a matter of seconds, a twety-nine page research paper could be gone with no chance of retrieval all because I copied to clipboard, deleted one graphic from the paper, accidentally copied a second graphic to the clipboard and POOF!! - 29 pages gone forever. It is like I no longer write, create or design in fear of losing stuff. No kidding! My copy clip is set to temember the last 80 items I copied to clipboard. I was simply astounded when I was asked to do a review for Copy Clip! The invitation took me back to a time "pre- CC" when I didn't have the ability to see any history of my clipboard, let alone the power to go back and paste a clipboard item that I copied to the clipboard but have copied 79 items since.
