Maccy alternative FAQ
Is ClipLedge better than Maccy?
Not better, different. Maccy is an excellent free, open-source, minimalist clipboard history. ClipLedge is a paid app for people who want more: full-fidelity app objects, no-account sync between Macs, a polished shelf and onboarding, and paid support. Which is right depends on what you need.
Is Maccy free?
Yes. Maccy is free and open source on GitHub and Homebrew, with a paid App Store build to support development. ClipLedge is a one-time purchase per Mac with a 7-day free trial.
Does ClipLedge sync like Maccy?
Maccy does not sync between Macs. ClipLedge syncs your text clips between your Macs through a shared folder, with no account and no server. Images and files stay on the Mac they were copied on.
