I am surprised that there is no clipboard manager built into Mac OS, Windows 10 had one, not that I even used it as I used a third party one, I found one called copy clip for the mac, it seems ok if a bit basic

the one in finder is a bit limited and not really a manager. Copy clip is ok, but I will have a look at the others thanks
 
Searching for “clipboard” in the App Store returns as the first result Apple’s story https://apps.apple.com/story/id1613790260 about Copy 'Em (Clipboard Manager) https://apps.apple.com/app/copy-em-clipboard-manager/id876540291
I actuality have that app in my account, probably was free at some point, but I never used it :)

Cheers for that
 
ClipMenu was ideal. I loved that program and I used it a lot. Its repacement, Clipy, doesn't work. I have found nothing to rival ClipMenu. A huge loss.

Unfortunately, ClipMenu doesn't seem to work anymore in Sonoma. The menu keeps flashing and it's difficult to select anything. Is there any alternatives?
 
I've been on the hunt for a replacement for ClipMenu ever since upgrading to Sonoma myself. All the better ones are subscription based and do way more than I want and the purchasable ones don't work the way I want.

I finally found something perfect. It's almost an exact clone of ClipMenu. It's Clipy.

I use something called copy clip, it is simple, but does the job. I expect there are better ones around. i use Ditto on Windows, it is good, but not available on Mac. Windows have one built in now, but I still prefer using Ditto.
