About ClipBook
ClipBook runs in the background on a Mac and keeps everything you copy, including text, images, files and folders, links, colors and email addresses. You can search the history and paste an item straight into the active application.
It has several paste options. A double Command-C appends new text to the previous item, Control-V pastes items one after another in sequence, and it can copy text out of images. It needs macOS 13 or later and can be installed with Homebrew. It suits advanced Mac users who copy and paste heavily.
