About Unclutter
Unclutter lives in the Mac menu bar and slides down when you move the pointer to the top of the screen and scroll down. It combines three panels in one window: a clipboard history that tracks what you copy, a drop zone where you can keep frequently used files, and a notes area that works like sticky notes.
Panels can be rearranged, resized or turned off. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs and requires macOS 10.13 or later. It is sold as a lifetime license with a 10-day free trial.
