What’s New
Version 1.4.1
Version 1.4.1: Bug fixes.
Version 1.4: Adds the Clip Manager, a window that lets you view, arrange and edit clips and Smart Clips. This resizable window makes it easy to manage your clips and you can even paste them directly from the window. You can edit plain text and rich text clips right in the Clip Manager, so you can copy something and then edit it before pasting it elsewhere. Set one of your global keyboard shortcuts to bring up the Clip Manager and you can quickly review and paste a clip or use Smart Clips. You can also now assign global keyboard shortcuts to any Smart Clip in the Clip Manager.
Ratings and Reviews
A must-have utility
MacOS is great, but the one feature I miss most is a clipboard manager. Meet ClipTools, a free clipboard manager with more than just simple history.
I have used a few clipboard managers in the past, FlyCut being my top choice for a long time since it is free. However, ClipTools offers me nearly all the same features FlyCut had, while giving more flexibility.
Automation - arguably the best feature, For those who type a lot and paste th esame type of data in different contexts, the ability to automate and change what gets pasted is a must have feature.
Calculations - You can use Spotlight to search, but often when I need to calculate things, the result needs to go somewhere - ClipTools has got you covered there also.
Forms - Filling out forms requuiring dates has never been easier with the date pasting function, even allowing users many formats.
ClipTools is the ultimate free clipboard solution that does what people want - clipboard history, while providing power users the ability to take control of their clipboard and its contents. As such, the application not only appeals to those who need a simple clipboard manager, but also serves as a must have utility for demanding productivity work.
Extremely Useful App
This app has everything a clipboard manager needs and much more! Over the years, I've purchased (and paid) for a few other clipboard managers that usually had only one single function in them. Some were cross-platform which I thought was useful but didn't really use. Perhaps "ClipTools" has too many options. The only other feature that I use regularly and find very helpful is the "smart clips". Also, I like the fact that you can tell it to remember many strings but display just few in the regular drop-down menu.
Best Menu Bar Tool
I have a fair amount of menu bar tools installed. Some I use often, and others I use less often. This tool has become my mostly used tool.
The reason is that this tool combines several other tools and website services into one. The clipboard history is great, and the built-in lorem ipsum and case changes are widely used by me.
There are many more features built-in, and I couldn't ask for more. It's just great. Thank you MacMost.
