Clipboard manager for macOS
Clipboard history made easier to scan, search, and reuse.
Better Clipboard keeps recent copies in a fast floating window with visual previews, pins, search, and keyboard access, so text, links, images, code, and emojis are ready when you need them again.
- Browse and search clipboard history without switching context
- Pin important clips and preview links, images, code, and emojis
- Translate selected text where Apple Intelligence translation is supported by macOS
Why it is different
A visual clipboard, not a plain list
- Animated cards make copied items faster to recognize than rows of text.
- Menu bar and keyboard access keep the clipboard close without taking over your screen.
- Translation and rewriting use macOS system capabilities where available, with no cloud processing by Better Clipboard.
Free vs Pro
The free version stores up to 10 clipboard entries and allows up to 3 pinned items. Unlock Better Clipboard Pro for unlimited history and unlimited pins.
