Better Clipboard: fast macOS clipboard manager with floating carousel for copy-paste history. Browse, search, pin via shortcut/menu bar. Supports text, links, images, emojis, code—built for speed. New: Translate selected text shortcut. Apple Intelligence rewrite/translate on compatible Macs (no cloud). Animated cards > plain lists. Features: history search, link previews, inline images/code, large emojis, shortcuts, menu bar. Free: 10 entries/3 pins. Pro: unlimited.
Here's something most people don't realize ... when you copy formatted text, macOS doesn't store one thing. It stuffs multiple versions into the pasteboard at once: plain text, HTML, RTF, sometimes more. Then every app you paste into just silently picks whichever version it wants. Google Docs grabs the HTML. Slack ignores it and takes plain text. Email clients want inline-styled HTML. That's why the "same" paste looks completely different depending on where it lands.
Do you expose those different formats in the history? Being able to pick which version gets pasted would be huge for anyone who moves content between apps all day.
@leonardkim That will definitely be included in the next release. Thank you!
@leonardkim Do the animated cards in Better Clipboard show each clip's formats, plain text, RTF, HTML, and let me set per-app paste defaults? If on-device rewrite/translate runs on the chosen format, the whole flow stays predictable.
Will try...I've always had issues here when I'm pasting from my laptop to my phone and vice versa
