Maccy

A fast, keyboard-first clipboard history

MacFree, open source

The verdict

The same open-source clipboard manager is free on GitHub and $9.99 on the Mac App Store. Maccy keeps your copy history a Shift-Command-C away, searches it as you type and drops copied passwords when your password manager clears them. Everything stays on your Mac with no sync, so Paste is the better pick if you want your history on your iPhone too.
