Comment summary: CopyQ is lauded for its versatility, platform compatibility across Linux, Windows, and macOS, and extensive feature set including image handling, customizable shortcuts, and clipboard synchronization. Users highlight its ability to automate workflows, encrypt entries, and not store undesired text. While often praised for ease of use and being open-source, minor issues like its search functionality and difficulty in opening the dropdown menu are noted as areas for improvement.

This clipboard manager has a hidden gem. Synchronize (Preferences -> Items). I use CopyQ on Mac, Windows and Linux systems so being able to sync clipboard items between them is very useful. This wonderful feature allows you to setup a folder that can be shared across systems (I use a folder in Dropbox). Now if I want to share a clipboard item between systems I just move it to the "shared" tab and it syncs automatically. Beautiful!!!

Nice that it works offline & stores images. When copying a line of text inline with icons/thumbnails, a sort of placeholder is put vs with Ditto where the link anchor text shows.

Best one of the bunch. Apps I've tried: Maccy, Flycut, Jumpcut, and many others from the App Store. Only CopyQ lets me select a number of clippings to paste all at once. The others can only paste one at a time. Personally, this is a needed feature. Also, CopyQ is just more robust all around, has the features others offer and then some (customization is S-tier), and doesn't feel like a quick side project by a dev. One major con: it's hard to make the dropdown menu appear in one click. You have to click the icon a few times before it comes out. What's up with that? This is one big minus that the others have over it by a mile; otherwise, an excellent app. -on macOS Big Sur

What is CopyQ?

Clipboard manager with searchable and editable history.

It's possible to save plain text, images, HTML and other formats, use plugins, filter out content by text, data format or window from which it is copied, use multiple tabs, control application using command-line interface and scripting, assign system-wide shortcuts, paste item into application just by selecting it in tray menu and more.
