Copy 'Em

What Copy 'Em is
Copy 'Em is a clipboard manager for macOS that records copied items for later retrieval. It handles text, images, links, HTML, code, PDFs, files, and color codes. Search, filters, favorites, named lists, and sorting help organize clips. Paste tools include batch and plain-text pasting, text transformations, image format changes, and configurable shortcuts. Recording can be paused, selected applications excluded, and non-starred items deleted automatically or limited to a short history. Items can be exported and imported on another Mac. Copy 'Em syncs through iCloud with other copies, including its iPhone and iPad edition. The mobile app saves links, text, images, and clipboard data, and includes a custom keyboard for saved snippets. Data is stored locally by default, while optional iCloud sync uses private iCloud storage. The Mac app costs $8.99, paid once and requires macOS 14.5 or later; a free plan is also available.
