What you get

You can recover past copies and keep today's snippets within reach.

You get a way to return to text, links, and screenshots you've copied, rather than losing access when you copy something else. Press ⌘⇧V from anywhere to open a grid of your clipboard history, then click the item you want to paste. Your history can extend beyond just your latest copies.

You can find a copied screenshot by searching for words inside it, even when you don't remember when you captured it. Custom categories let you group code, links, and other snippets in ways that match your work.

For your current task, you can keep selected snippets in MiniPlop, a smaller persistent tray. When you need several copied items, you can paste them in sequence, including in reverse order.

  • Recover earlier copies

    You can return to an older link, snippet, or screenshot instead of finding and copying it again.

  • Find screenshots by words

    You can search the text inside copied images to locate the screenshot you need.

  • Group reusable material

    You can organize copied code, links, and snippets into categories that fit your work.

  • Keep active snippets nearby

    You can hold the items you're currently using in a small persistent tray.

  • Paste several items

    You can paste multiple copied items in sequence or reverse their order.

Best for

  • You frequently reuse copied text or code
  • You need to recover links copied days earlier
  • You collect screenshots and remember their wording

Skip it if

You don't need it if you rarely reuse copied material and your latest clipboard item is usually enough.

From the developer

PastePlop sits in your menu bar with everything you've copied. Hit ⌘⇧V and a grid pops up: every link, snippet, and screenshot, organized optionally into categories you set up. OCR runs in the background, so you can search images by what's written in them.
