5 Ways to Use a Mac Clipboard App

[@Delyn]

Feels like every time I am looking for advice on something, a Stephen Robles video comes up and answers my question. 💯

[@beardfm]

Haha thank you, that’s my goal!

[@optimumwellnessofficial]

Thank you so much for this, this is something that's inbuilt into Windows and as a Windows operator for over close to 2 decades now, this inbuilt native feature lacking on the MAC OS was super frustrating. Thanks a lot for this. I've purchased a genuine copy of pastebot and it works like a charm. I wish MACOS took this feedback and incorporated this CLIPBOARD feature natively into their application, it would really help users like me who rely on copy paste activities a lot.

[@beardfm]

I wish clipboard management was native too, but glad Pastebot is working for you!

[@redvelvetcomebackprayerlea4962]

was a long time windows user and recently switched to mac. for a laptop touted as a productivity device, not having a native clipboard is so frustrating so im gonna go give this a try. thanks!

[@beardfm]

It's a missing native feature for sure, but these third-party options ar pretty great!

[@kennethpaige7036]

Hello, and thank you. I have never used a clipboard manager but I will be starting today!

[@beardfm]

You're welcome! It make a big difference once you get used to using it!

[@ricksessoms4308]

this is the best explanationf of this issue on youtube thanks bro great value here.. add a CTA though so you can make some money

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that! 🙏🏻 thanks for watching

[@ToddPage1987]

discovering clipboard managers was a revelation for me. I use one called CopyClip but your thoughts on security make me think on this a bit and I'll be checking out your reocmmendations - thanks!

[@beardfm]

I had used CopyClip in the past too! But switched to PasteBot after a while. It was good while I used it!

[@johnnyxhuynh]

Thanks for the great video and tips!

[@beardfm]

You're welcome!

[@GreyAlive]

Thanks I’ll try that!

[@khalidamer1385]

man you are amazing thanks

[@beardfm]

Glad it helped

[@SHreyasHERO]

Will clipboard feature come in future MacOS Update!?

[@beardfm]

I wish, but Apple hasn't announced anything like that.

[@tech-vf9ow]

Nice video. What’s the text expander application you’re using?

[@beardfm]

Thanks! And it’s literally called TextExpander: textexpander.com

[@tech-vf9ow]

@@beardfm Thanks. What a fitting name.

[@fabrislemos]

Great video. And I need that wallpaper.

tanks bro

[@beardfm]

Welcome!

[@AyEm609]

Hi, thanks for the video! I downloaded ClipBot based on your recommendation, but it doesn't seem to work in the background (like Magnet, for example). Do I need to keep the app open in the dock for it to work?

[@beardfm]

I’m not familiar with ClipBot, it may have the option to hide the dock icon but keep it running. Maybe try CopyClip from the App Store

[@RapManCZ]

when I copy the text from the web forms, I always use the mouse - right click and copy. The reason is to avoid pressing C without the command key by accident.

[@xo_you_know9983]

Do whatever helps you to be more productive. I would like to add something though, in case you didn’t know. You can undo that accident by pressing command + Z

[@ihussd]

What is App for the T icon in the menu bar?

[@beardfm]

TextExpander!

[@Danny-vk2qz]

I use pastebot, but it is closing automatically, does anyone know how to solve it?

[@beardfm]

Just started experiencing this on the latest Sequoia version. Likely a bug to be fixed soon

[@Danny-vk2qz]

In the new version it doesn't happen anymore, at least for now

[@eddiegonzalez2]

Windows PC made this so much easier and efficient

[@mostshenanigans]

So is Gboard or SwiftKey for Android, Apple is just ridiculous when it comes to quality of life functionalities. Some thing so basic somehow requires a paid app to be done well.

[@m.khisal]

Exactly! I'm using a Mac for the first time due to it being my work computer, and have been finding alternatives for all the missing windows features I've been so used to, e.g. this clipboard option. Seems like everytime I have to pay for some app to get that feature.

[@uchitchakma8476]

but i think paste bot cannot keep screenshots or images on the clipboard

[@beardfm]

That’s true, Paste may be a better option for that!

[@bio.s2903]

y isnt clipboard manager a feature built into mac yet?

[@beardfm]

It's not, unfortunately.

[@michaelmckeever9]

Great.

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it!

[@-musiclee-]

I would not consider Paste for one reason alone, subscription. And expensive too. No thanks. There’s free alternatives. Maccy

[@beardfm]

I'm leery of free clipboard apps since there can be sensitive info copied. Pastebot is a great one-time purchase app with a trustworthy developer.

[@Watch4Me]

@@beardfmgreat point. You get what you pay for.

[@fredbureau-russell7718]

I hardly ever copy and paste anything not to mention that I haven’t used a laptop or desktop since 2016 so I guess this video just isn’t for me. Good job though.

[@sherryorozco3674]

You speak way to fast and the video is way too fast. Whats your hurry?

[@beardfm]

Retention! But you can slow down to .75 or .5x too!

[@Aleksandch1]

all of these tools are useless pieces of crap. Why Apple can't add a clipboard like in Windows 10??
