more Awesome Copy has quietly become one of those apps I rely on every day. It’s helped me empty my brain by capturing random thoughts, snippets, and clippings the moment they appear—then actually find them later. Old clippings are easy to search, and turning frequently used ones into reusable snippets saves a ridiculous amount of time.Is it perfect? No. I’ve run into a few small bugs here and there. But this is where the app really shines: the developer is incredibly responsive. Every time I’ve reported an issue, he’s replied quickly…and more than once he’s reached out personally to have me try a new build with a fix. That level of care is rare.If you live in your clipboard, juggle ideas constantly, or just want a better external brain, this app is absolutely worth it. Great utility, thoughtful design, and a developer who actually listens.

Well it was a bit of a rough start for the mobile companion app: the Mac version had a period of freezes and crashes causing a locked window on my desktop that could only be killed by a full reboot. But the dev was on top of it, quickly releasing updates on both MacOS and iOS to relieve the issue. Seems quite solid now, and I’m really liking the new feature set. Very nice!
Developer Response Hey thanks for sticking it out 😅 glad you’re enjoying the app!

This is a good start, and I realize a work in progress. I have been using similar apps for many years. Where it loses me is that there appears to be no way to use Snippets or Categories on the Mobile App. Furthermore, if you have the Mac app set to a Category. It will only Cloud Sync that Category. So you have to make sure the Mac Side is switched back to “All Categories. With a little work to clean things up, I could see this being my preferred Clipboard Manager. It has a few features I haven’t seen elsewhere.
Developer Response Thanks for the review! In the immediate future I can definitely fix the issue of only current category syncing. I’ll look into how feasible it is to implement categories and snippets on the mobile app, no promises there, but thank you for the valuable feedback!!

Updated: Uninstalled and reinstalled and all working great now. Honestly, I cannot recommend this app enough. It is great and the developer is doing a great job.This is a great app. Unfortunately the last update causes a spinning ball and have to restart my computer to get rid of the app. Hopefully when the developer fixes this it will go back to being the great app it was ^^
Developer Response Sorry the latest update broke things for you, there is a new update coming out in a few days with fixes to the startup process so hopefully this fixes your issues!
