About:
PopClip is a macOS utility that appears whenever you select text, offering instant access to context-aware actions. It enables users to perform lookups, searches, translations, and custom workflows without switching apps or using keyboard shortcuts. This streamlines text manipulation and significantly boosts productivity for developers, writers, and general users.
Key Features:
  • Contextual action menu on text selection
  • Extensible with custom actions and shortcuts
  • Built-in actions for search, lookup, and translation
  • Integration with popular apps and services
  • Clipboard history and manipulation tools
Use Cases:
  • Quickly look up selected text in dictionaries or search engines
  • Format, clean, or transform selected text using custom actions
  • Translate foreign language text without leaving the current application
Alternatives:
  • BetterTouchTool – More comprehensive automation tool with a steeper learning curve, while PopClip focuses specifically on text selection actions.
  • Keyboard Maestro – Powerful macro tool that can replicate some PopClip functionality but requires more manual configuration.
