Klipped For Mac

Users who need to have quick access to a simple and fast method of taking notes while working on their Mac will usually fire up a text editing application such as macOS' TextEdit.

However, for writing down simple text based notes, there is no need for sophisticated text editors, and an app like Klipped should prove to be just the right tool at the right moment.

More precisely, Klipped is a free and easy to use text editor with a minimalist and straightforward user interface, which enables you to jot down notes, paste anything from your Mac's clipboard and even use macOS' dictation engine for quickly converting anything you have on your mind into plain text.

According to its developer, Klipped has been designed from the ground up as an alternative to the built-in macOS clipboard and to replace physical notebooks which could get lost or damaged.

Even though Klipped is not meant to be a complicated tool and it has simplicity as its tagline, it still comes with support for macOS' text transformation engine which can be easily accessed via the right click contextual menu.

Klipped also comes with a status bar item which gives you quick access to a clipboard's default commands, i.e. cut, copy, and paste, but it also makes it possible to enable a dark mode, very useful when you have to use it at night.

As mentioned above, Klipped allows you to use the macOS dication feature, which will help you say anything you need to write down and have the app automatically write it down for you.

To enable the dictation mode, you have to press the Fn key on your keyboard two times and click on the "Done" button when you've finished dictating the text.

It is also noteworthy to mention that you can also use the Klipped app in split screen mode, which should allow you to keep code snippets one click away when working on your latest development project.

Taking all of the above into consideration, Klipped is the right tool for you if you need a simple yet elegant looking text editor designed to work as an editable clipboard with support for dictation and dark mode.
