CopyQ 17.0.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesThe standard Mac clipboard remembers exactly one thing, which is fine until the thing you need was copied twenty minutes ago. CopyQ fixes that quietly. This free and open source clipboard manager keeps a searchable history of the text, images and other content you copy, and organises it into tabs you can sort, edit and tag. Writers, coders and support staff who paste the same snippets all day will feel the difference within an hour.
Key Features
- Searchable clipboard history covering text, images and custom formats
- Tabs, tags and notes to keep saved clips tidy and findable
- Editing tools that let you fix a clip before you paste it
- Custom commands and scripting for automatic actions on new clips
- Optional encryption for sensitive items you would rather protect

System Requirements
CopyQ runs on macOS as well as Windows and Linux, and it is light enough for older machines. On a Mac the simplest route is the provided app build, and Homebrew users can install it as a cask instead. It asks for no account and sends no clipboard data anywhere.
FAQs
Is CopyQ free?
Yes. CopyQ is open source under the GPL, maintained by its developer on GitHub, and the full program costs nothing.
Can I stop it saving passwords?
Yes. You can set rules to ignore content from chosen apps or matching text, and you can encrypt items that need extra care.
Does it work across restarts?
Yes. History is stored on disk, so your saved clips are still waiting after you reboot or relaunch the app.
