About:
Flycut is a clipboard manager designed specifically for developers, built on the open-source Jumpcut project. It silently runs in the menu bar, storing a history of your copy operations for quick retrieval via a configurable keyboard interface. Its primary value is streamlining workflow by eliminating the need to re-find or re-copy text, code snippets, and commands.
Key Features:
  • Stores a persistent history of clipboard items
  • Summonable via a global hotkey (default: Cmd+Shift+V)
  • Clean, minimal interface that stays out of your way
  • Open-source and actively maintained
Use Cases:
  • Developers frequently copying and pasting code snippets, API keys, or terminal commands
  • Writers or system administrators needing quick access to repeated text blocks
Alternatives:
  • Paste – More feature-rich with sync and search, but is paid software
  • Maccy – Open-source alternative with a more modern UI
