Flycut: Lightweight Clipboard Manager for macOS

Flycut stores your copy and paste history, allowing you to quickly access snippets you've copied previously. Useful for developers, writers, and anyone who frequently copies and pastes text.

What is Flycut?

Flycut is a free and open source clipboard manager developed specifically for macOS. It runs inconspicuously in the menu bar and saves everything you copy, allowing you to easily paste any previously copied text at any time.

Once installed, Flycut creates a persistent history of your clipboard. You can bring it up with a keyboard shortcut (default Command+Shift+V) and search through or paste any snippet you've previously copied. It's an invaluable tool for developers, writers, researchers, or anyone who frequently copies and pastes bits of text.

Flycut sets itself apart with a clean and simple interface. The clipboard history window is unobtrusive, allowing you to search through copies, see previews, and paste them into documents or applications easily. Customizable keyboard shortcuts, support for rich text formats, and automatic plain text copies make it a versatile clipboard tool.

With continuous improvements and updates, Flycut has become a staple productivity booster for many macOS users who rely on quick access to copy and paste history. Its light footprint and seamless integration with the operating system make it an easy to use clipboard manager for text snippets, code, URLs, or any other frequently copied text.
