Clipboard Manager Apps

• Alex

Clipboard management is an essential utility on the Mac and has some interesting options on iOS and iPadOS as well. The main feature of a clipboard manager is to save your clipboard history: each time you copy something, it gets saved, then later you can recall your recently copied items even after you’ve copied other things. On the Mac, clipboard managers can do this for you automatically, in the background. On iOS, however, you need to manually send your clipboards to manager apps via extensions, shortcuts, or opening the apps themselves. This makes iOS clipboard managers a bit of a different beast: more of a dumping ground for content you want to save for recalling later. On the Mac, clipboard managers just feel like an extension of the functionality of the clipboard itself.
