Maccy for MAC
Lightweight, open-source clipboard manager that keeps everything you copy one shortcut away.
Maccy Overview
Maccy is a lightweight, open-source clipboard manager for Mac. It keeps a history of everything you copy, such as text, links and images, and brings it back with one keyboard shortcut, so you never lose something you copied a few minutes ago. Maccy is made by Alex Rodionov and released under the MIT license.
Maccy is keyboard-first: press Shift-Command-C, type a few letters to find an item, and press Enter. It looks like a native Mac menu, stays out of the way in the menu bar and keeps its history only on your Mac. Maccy needs macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later and runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Key Features

- Instant search: open Maccy with Shift-Command-C and type to filter your history as you go.
- Copy or paste: press Enter to copy an item, or Option-Enter to paste it straight into the app you are using.
- Paste without formatting: Option-Shift-Enter pastes plain text, without fonts or colors.

- Privacy controls: ignore copies from chosen apps, such as password managers, or ignore certain types of content.
- Native and light: a simple Mac menu that uses very little memory and power.

JumpcutJumpcut is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS. Every time you cut or copy text, it adds that text to a stack of clippings, so a phone number, URL or code snippet you had a few minutes ago is still within reach even after you have copied something else.

When you choose a clipping, Jumpcut puts it on the pasteboard and pastes it into the app you are using.Productivity
