What’s New
Version 1.5.1
New in 1.5
• New Search capability in the Clip Manager. Use the search button (magnifying glass) or Command+F when in the Clip Manager and then type in the search field that appears. Once you type something, only the clips with that phrase will appear. So if you type "row" then "The quick brown fox..." will be listed. You can also use "app:x" where x is the name of an app like "app:TextEdit" to see the clips from a specific app. But you can't combine these, or look for non-consecutive words, or use boolean operators or anything like that.
• When you switch tabs in the Clip Manager, or close and open the Clip Manager, it will now remember which clip in the list was previously selected.
• Rebuilt the Smart Clips function processing engine. It now handles nested functions better and should be more robust dealing with Smart Clips using multiple functions.
• Added and updated many Smart Clips Functions, including {ask:}, {pick-clip:}, {replace:}, {sub:}, {lorem:}, {stack:}, {action:}, {case:}, {date}, {web}. See the documentation page for the changes and how to use the new functions. Smart Clips can now do almost anything you can do in the ClipTools menu!
• New Snooze function. Hold down the Option key and then select the Clip Tools Menu. Choose Snooze Clip Capture and then a time. The clipboard will no longer be added to the ClipTools clip history until the time expires. You will then see a non-active Clip Capture Snoozed item in the Options menu instead. You'll also be able to select End Snooze there to resume clip capture early.
New in 1.5.1
• Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the Clip Manager had no clips to show.
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.
