Cliptop

Cliptop is a clipboard history manager for Mac (with iPhone/iPad support) that saves, searches, and organizes copied items — text, links, files, screenshots, code snippets — with on-device OCR and privacy-first local storage by default. Who it's for: Mac users who copy and paste frequently throughout their workday and want fast search across clipboard history, rather than relying on the system's single-item clipboard. Strengths: on-device OCR (extracting text from screenshots) and automatic code-snippet formatting are genuinely specific, useful features beyond a basic clipboard history list. Local storage by default, with iCloud sync optional and never server-stored, is a real, structural privacy choice. Weaknesses and limitations: no ongoing free tier exists beyond a 7-day trial — real cost is $9.99/year or a $19.99 one-time lifetime purchase, and it's capped at 3 devices. Real-world scenario: someone frequently copies and pastes throughout their day — links, code, screenshots — and wants to quickly search back through recent clipboard history instead of re-copying something they already had.
