Comments about Maccy as a Alternative to CopyQ
pros, cons and recent comments
Nick Scientist
Maccy is plain better than CopyQ for macOS users. CopyQ hangs sometimes when I toggle open the window with copies, not the case with Maccy. Maccy has an M1 version, CopyQ doesn't. It lacks however customisation, although I would wager most people are not interested in customizing the look of their clipboard manager. For UI/UX people, it's a really good-looking interface.
