cliptext For Mac

Your Mac's clipboard is most probably the macOS feature you use the most each day, but it does come with some limitations, the most important one being the lack of a way to access its history for using previously saved snippets later on.

The cliptext app is an open source and low-key utility designed to provide with this exact feature, and it does it via an easy to access status bar menu designed to help you effortlessly reuse any previously saved pasteboard item.

Moreover, once started on your Mac, cliptext adds itself to the status bar, and you can load clipboard items in its menu either with a mouse click or with the help of the ⌘ + [ITEMNUMBER] keyboard combo while having the app in the foreground.

You can customize the number of pasteboard items cliptext saves and displays within its clipboard history list, and you can choose between 10, 30, 50 or even an unlimited number of items if you're a heavy user.

Cliptext can also be set up to launch automatically on your Mac on login, thus making sure that it is always running in the background, silently reloading every text snippet you add to your clipboard.

Unfortunately, at the moment, cliptext only supports text only pasteboard items and will not allow you to choose apps to ignore if you would want it to stop recording when copying and pasting sensitive information.

cliptext's menu bar item can be summoned with the help of the ⌘ + ⌥ + H global keyboard shortcut, a feature which will allow you to quickly load previous clipboard items in a snap while having any other app in the foreground.

In a nutshell, if you are a heavy clipboard user, cliptext is the perfect little tool to help you enhance macOS' pasteboard capabilities, to boost your productivity and to significantly speed up your daily workflow.
