Clipomatic Clone for OS X?

July 16, 2005 1:33 PM

Looking for an OS X facsimile of Clipomatic for Windows.

I use BBEdit, and I know about toggling through the clipboard with that, but it just isn't as good as Ctrl-Alt-V -> popup dialog with last 10 clips. Googling has drawn a big fat blank. Help me put the edge back on my productivity...

Jumpcut, by our very own Snarkout.

Or Quicksilver, which has this functionality as part of a larger package.

Google's not the best place to start when looking specifically for Mac shareware/freeware... I would try a MacUpdate or VersionTracker search for "clipboard" instead. They both turn up a few dozen utilities that do similar things to what you're asking.

CopyPaste is a good one to check out. It used to be very popular in the pre-OS X days; I'm not sure how it has held up more recently, though.

You Software/Controls has worked really well for me, and the Pasteboard is part of a much larger, and very useful, package. If you drop me a line, I can forward you an e-mail they sent to me that offers You Controls and You Desktop for $20, total. Such a great deal, IMHO. No, I don't work for the company. I'm just a big fan.

Seriously, try quicksilver. It's a ridiculously useful app.

Bingo! Thank you, jragon.

I installed Quicksilver months ago, but got sidetracked on the learning curve, and all I use it for is opening apps. Someday I'll look at the documentation again...I think. But Jumpcut is exactly what I wanted: tiny, single-purpose.

Another is ClipMate.
