Is there any free clipboard manager like Ditto for Mac? [duplicate]

I'm looking for a clipboard manager like Ditto for Mac:

Ditto is an extension to the standard windows clipboard. It saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time. Ditto allows you to save any type of information that can be put on the clipboard, text, images, html, and custom formats.

Meaning Ditto can store about 40 items. Ditto has some extra utilities:

  • searching in items
  • parsing plain text
  • keeping images as well

If you just want clipboard history, check out Jumpcut. Manages your clipboard history just fine. To install:

brew install jumpcut

It’s also a common feature in applications like Alfred (as noted by Lauri Ranta), LaunchBar and Keyboard Maestro.


I use Alfred's clipboard history. It's searchable, it can keep history for up to three months, it has a nice keyboard-centered UI, and it doesn't require running other applications on the background. It doesn't support images or rich text, but I mostly work with plain text anyway.


Try this one out: https://github.com/naotaka/ClipMenu. It's free and you could use shortcuts for it.


The one I've found (Maccy) which is available free (yet if you like it, you should donate as well) and exactly like Ditto, simple and focused.

For details:

  • here is the link to it's official site: Maccy.app
  • github link: Maccy

While deciding on that one, I've searched and tried a couple others but didn't like as much as Maccy:

  • flycut
  • CopyClip - paid app, but does its job well
  • ClipMenu

CopyQ is the alternative I've got for my Macs. It supports richtext, images and has search. You can also change the key combination to show the list and choose what to paste without using mouse.
