Any apps for clipboard history with keyboard shorcuts?

Coming from windows I feel like a cripple without clipboard history. I am constantly copying and pasting pieces of code, auth codes, URLs etc and now I'm slower because if I need something I copied before I have to go back and find it and copy it again.


Madness! How do people live without this feature lol.


I've tried some different apps but none of them let me use a keyboard shortcut to past from my history I have to manually select things from a menu or some other UI.


Ultimately I want to replicate the Win+V shortcut where I can just press a key and use arrows plus enter to choose what to paste.


Preferably a free app that's not trying to do too many other things as well.


Any suggestions?

Wow, seriously apple? I posted an answer to my own question when I found an app that works and it was removed for being advertising.


Another answer posted 5 links full of articles that are excessively long-winded only to generate ad revenue.

But I cant post one link with that I selected as the best answer to my won question? wtf?


Anyways the app I found that works is called "Maccy" and you can find a free version of it at the link Im not allowed to post lol.

If anyone wants it you will have to search for it.

Too bad you do not list the apps you have tried...this would be informative.


Like a game of whack-0-mole...


I see several possibilities listed here—

I took one look at the link you posted and all the alarm bells went off— as an "aggregator" site. Not recommended unless you want PUP's/ adware./ malware... that is how these aggregator sites make their money, tucking into the installers these "potentially unwanted programs."


So your "free" may come at a cost...at a 'price' you are unprepared to pay.



Always go directly to the Developers website (my first choice) or through the App Store:

Haha yeah sorry about that. But I am hoping for recommendations based on experience rather than a google search result.


I've seen those long whinded articles before and tried their recommendations only to find that the clipboard history is behind a paywall, has no keyboard shortcuts.


Finding, installing, testing, and removing a ton of apps was becoming a time-consuming task so I just gave up posted this and went back to work hoping someone has already been through all this and found a solution.


Appreciate the response but please only recommend apps you use yourself.
