Copy'em Paste

Not sure about Maccy, but I’ve been using „Copy’em” (https://apprywhere.com/ce-mac.html) for last few years and been really happy with it. I highly recommend it if someone is looking for something like this.

LaunchBar

LaunchBar[0], which predates Alfred but is similar in function, also has a fantastic searchable clipboard manager. LaunchBar's manager includes a feature that I've not been able to find in any other clipboard manager: a push/pop stack. With this feature you can, for example, copy a bunch of different items from a web page on to the stack, then paste them sequentially in a web form and pop them from the stack so that they're no longer in the clipboard history. With this workflow there's no hopping back and forth between pages, you do all of the copying at once in one place and all of the pasting at once in the other. It all happens via keyboard shortcuts, no interaction with the LaunchBar UI at all. This feature is what's been keeping me on LaunchBar for almost 15 years now. Alfred looks great, but without this push/pop feature in the clipboard manager I'd have a hard time switching. [0]: https://obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html.

iClip

I like iClip [1] for this purpose, for one substantial reason: You can use the "left-arrow" icon on each history box to past the <i>unstyled</i> (that is, plain text with no fonts, colors, sizes, etc.) version of whatever text is in that box. 1: http://iclipapp.com.

Pastebot

Pastebot [0] is another very nice clipboard manager that has this stack feature as well. [0]: https://tapbots.com/pastebot/.

Clipjump

Ditto is good but I am partial to the user interface of an AutoHotkey program called ClipJump[1]. The main functions are all accessible with the regular Ctrl and ZXC keys, in the normal flow. Pressing Ctrl+V while holding Ctrl down brings up a tooltip with the current item on the clipboard, and you can move backwards and forwards through the stack by tapping C and V (while still holding Ctrl). Tapping X switches actions (Paste, Cancel, Delete, Delete All), and releasing Ctrl commits the action. It's so intuitive that it makes other clipboard managers feel clunky. And tapping Z strips the text formatting. While it is written in AutoHotkey and hasn't seen any updates in 8 years, it still works perfectly under Windows 11. The code is pure spaghetti and filled with goto statements and trying to understand it is a lost cause, but despite that it's almost bug-free and covers all of the corner cases, including copying from zip files, Microsoft Office documents, images, files, etc. Way back when it was just someone's project on the AHK forums I contributed a couple of fixes to it, before it was so complex.

Clipy

Then there’s https://clipy-app.com as well (FOSS). But I prefer Maccy. Unlike many other top comments here I prefer dedicated smaller tools for individual tasks.
