To access the stored clipboard items, simply double-click on an item and it will be copied to the clipboard so that you can use it as needed. All the items you copy are neatly arranged in rows. Dittoĭitto is a free, lightweight, and open-source clipboard manager that is filled with many useful features and is highly configurable. In case you are on a look-out, you can have a quick look at it. If Clyppan would just fix the shortcut keys so that I could search and select clips more easily I would highly recommend it - otherwise i'd say PTH Pasteboard is much more powerful and by far my favorite choice.Before we get to the list, we have also covered the best clipboard managers for Android and iOS. Haven't figured out how to do that yet with PTH Pasteboard but I'm not sure it is impossible. Clyppan also has a "rapid paste" feature that I like - you can paste the last several things on the clipboard in reverse order.Clyppan has this, but you have to activate it, press cmd+f to search, type in your string, then press tab about 4 times, then you can use the arrow keys. Using the up or down arrow keys (or a number key - results were numbered) would choose the selection, and enter would paste it. When activated it showed a list of clipping, typing text would filter the results to only show matches.You can change the shortcut keys to anything you want.It has an option so that text is always pasted as plain text (removes formatting).It can manage text or images, but it has an option to only keep track of text, which was important to me.Here's the functionality that I loved about Ditto:

The closest one I could find was Clyppan ($5) until I found this question and tried PTH Pasteboard as Mark had suggested. I also looked at a few articles describing the so called best clipboard manager for mac, like this one.

I have not been too happy with any of them. I first tried ClipMenuand Jumpcut, and have also tried using Quicksilver's built in clipboard manager. Wish I could find the same thing for Mac.

I'm coming from Windows and LOVED the Ditto clipboard manager. Wish the author was continuing development and taking requests for a couple of UI/UX fixes, but until then I really like "Clippings" The reasons I decided to stop using PTHPasteboard were that it is a little buggy and I tried to send feedback to the author but never heard anything. I have actually now started using Clippings from the app store.
