About Jumpcut
Jumpcut is a clipboard manager for macOS. It gives you access to text you cut or copied earlier, even after you have copied something else since. Code snippets, email addresses, URLs and half-finished sentences stay close to hand.
The app keeps a deliberately small scope. It deals only with the clipboard and has a lightweight interface. It suits Mac users who want a plain text clipboard history without the extra features of larger clipboard tools. It is published under the MIT license.
