How to View Clipboard History on macOS?

I often copy and paste various snippets of information and then forget to save them. When I copy something else, I end up losing the content from my previous clipboard.

Is there a built-in way in macOS to view clipboard history? Or do I need to install additional software?

While macOS does not have a built-in clipboard history feature, there are several third-party applications that can provide this functionality:

1. CleanClip

• System-level experience
• Immersive interaction design
• Paste queue support
• Searchable clipboard history
• Install via Homebrew: brew install --cask cleanclip

2. Jumpcut

• Open-source and free
• Simple and intuitive
• Install via Homebrew: brew install --cask jumpcut

3. Flycut

• An open-source branch of Jumpcut with additional features
• Free to download from the Mac App Store
• Also install via Homebrew: brew install --cask flycut

4. Copy 'em Paste

• A paid but simple and affordable option
• Focused on doing one thing well

5. Alfred Powerpack

• Another paid option that offers powerful clipboard history management features

6. Paste

These are some commonly used clipboard history management tools on macOS. Among them, CleanClip, as a new open-source choice, is worth a try. It is not only free and open-source but also feature-rich to meet the needs of most users. No matter which you choose, these tools can significantly enhance your productivity, allowing you to never worry about losing important clipboard content again.
