🖥️ Ever lost something you just copied on your Mac?
We’ve all been there. 😩
✂️ The Everyday Struggle
You’re working on something important —
writing an email, tweaking code, replying in Slack, or crafting content.
You copy a link…
then a password…
then a quote…
Then you go to paste — and it’s GONE. 😱
Replaced by the last thing you copied.
That moment of frustration, scrambling to re-copy something you thought was saved.
⌛ Wasted time. Broken flow. Annoyed sigh.

Great article! ClipboardHistory covers the core need well. For devs who also need to reuse copied content long-term, I've been building TextStow as a complementary approach:
Beyond history, it adds a favorites system for snippets you use regularly, prompt templates with variables like {{name}}, and built-in cleanup for messy text (PDF line breaks, JSON formatting, URL extraction). Everything stays local on the Mac.
Worth comparing if your workflow involves a lot of copy-paste-reuse: textstow.com
