CopyClip alternative FAQ
Is ClipLedge a good CopyClip alternative?
If you have outgrown CopyClip, yes. ClipLedge keeps images and files as well as text, searches your whole history (including the text inside screenshots), pins favourites, opens with a real hotkey and pastes in stacks, for a one-time price and with no ads.
Does CopyClip support images?
No. CopyClip keeps text only. ClipLedge keeps text, rich text, images, files, links and app objects, with full fidelity on re-paste.
Will my CopyClip history transfer to ClipLedge?
No. Clipboard history does not transfer between apps. ClipLedge starts fresh and records from the moment you install it, during the 7-day trial.
Is there a free version of ClipLedge?
There is a 7-day free trial with no card to start, then a one-time purchase per Mac. There is no ad-supported free tier.
