Cheetah-Beetah, What took you so long?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. My copy clip is set to temember the last 80 items I copied to clipboard.

It is like I no longer write, create or design in fear of losing stuff. 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.
I mean if you're readng this and you do not yet have copy clip installled, please do it now. 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 have Copy Clip and you don't!
CopyClip is a lightweight and intuitive macOS application specially made from scratch to help you access your Mac's clipboard history. Reuse previously copied text snippets from your pasteboard's history. Moreover, CopyClip is designed to quietly run in the background and capture all text fragments and snippets copied to the pasteboard.
What took YOU so long to finally get here? ProtoplasmZero, Great utility - but could be even betterGreat product. I use it daily. Super helpful. Very reliable.
I'd give this 4.5 stars if half stars were an option. So what would I still like to see? Just two things: 1) Would love some kind of option to 'pin' certain items that would then not get cleared. I have a few clips I use over and over and over and would like to always have those 2 or 3 clips available 'forever'. But then there are many other clips I want to clear and it would be good if I could do a 'clear' while still leaving a few 'pinned clips' in place. 2) Not sure if this is possible technically, but it would be great if the list of blacklist applications separately called out the browser's (Chrome, Safari, etc.) private modes (ex: Chrome's Incognito).
I don't use private browser mode often, but when I do it would be great if CopyClip could blacklist Incognitio mode to further enhance privacy. IShubes, Missing one thingIt does exactly what I need it to do and for that, I love it.
As a minister, I copy/paste multiple scriptures throughout my outlines/papers, and the ability to have multiple passages of scripture on a single clipboard has made my sermon preparation so much easier! The only drawback I’ve seen so far is that, not only does it NOT support copying tables, but it actually impedes that function within Microsoft Word. I use tables a LOT - for quotations, resources, emphasized points, et al - and I am FREQUENTLY copying tables within Word. The first time I tried to copy a table within Word - with CopyClip running in the background - the text copied, but I lost the “paste as table” function in Word; I had to completely close CopyClip in order to restore that function in Word. I would love to see CopyClip support the ability to copy/paste as a table but apart from that tiny thing, I’m truly happy with it.
