ClipMenu is dead about clipmenu

[BecomingDitto]

@ceyzaguirre4

I happened to have a copy here. You have to gunzip it, since github won't allow me to attach just a .dmg file.

ClipMenu_0.4.3.dmg.gz

[mkjaer]

I found a fork of this project called clipy which is still being maintained.
It fixes the issues I had with ClipMenu like not being able to paste in the snippets.

[jonathanfann]

@bakari45 https://clipy-app.com/ is a fork that is now maintained (github link: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy). i've found it to be stellar so far.

[harman28]

Dropbox download links are no longer working.

[broqdev]

this is a masterpiece. became a fan since I use Mac. blessing Naotaka. no matter where you are.

[harman28]

@ahmetb I think the fork that is maintained at Clipy works great, and so that might be unnecessary.

[mtt05001]

Never realized how much I loved Clipmenu until its gone...

[ahmetb]

@harman28 I wonder if we can set up a mirror URL and get that accepted into the Cask repository. I have it installed on some of my machines. It should be possible to pull the .dmg.

EDIT: Folks please just use Clipy.

[yueim]

@bzx Should try AppCleaner to clean all files except ClipMenu.app. I am using ClipMenu on Mojave perfectly.

[joanjgm]

Clipy doesn't seem to work to copy/paste images, or at least I can't preview them the same way I did with ClipMenu

Edit: Clipy 1.1.5 works flawlessly

[fabulousrice]

Clipmenu doesn't work in Catalina for me. Will try Clippy. Crazy that I've been using multiple copy/paste tools for almost 20 years now, still not integrated to the OS. But dark mode, yeah, we have a dark mode now. Ok.

[francwalter]

Yes this application still works even on 10.11.3.
I tested 0.4.4a12 which is working and was the last beta. The 1.x is crippled, long not finished new version, lacking important features and as ClipMenu is dead (hopefully only the app) and the source code for the 1.x is not published, I used this 0.4.4a12 before.
But I switched to Copy'em Paste since some months, quite better, not abandoned, but 10$.

[jonathanfann]

i hope everything's alright with Naotaka, but checking out Clipy now.

[francwalter]

Since a while I bought "Copy'em Paste", which is the best clipboard app I know for Mac.
EDIT 22.12.2018: Still very useful and far better than ClipMenu. It's under constant development and gets even better and better.

[ckizer]

Never seen that one. Checking it out now. I really wish Apple would just built this into the OS.

[Seacidal]

The lack of updates (versions or info) leaves me uncertain if ClipMenu is compatible with Yosemite. And if so, which version? I see versions 0.4.3, 0.4.4, and 1.0? Which to use? and how do they differ?
Thanks.

[Pragad]

Does the version available here work on High Sierra (10.13.3) ?https://github.com/naotaka/ClipMenu/files/1093000/ClipMenu_0.4.3.dmg.gz

[yueim]

amazing.
after remove all history files in ~/Library/Application Support/ClipMenu, ClipMenu works perfectly again.

[bzx]

@cnyyk

after remove all history files in ~/Library/Application Support/ClipMenu, ClipMenu works perfectly again.

Tried that in Mojave with no luck. Moving to Clipy.

[bzx]

I have been using 0.4.4a on Mojave and it's not working fully. The menu shows up, but I can't paste anything from the list – I have to click the entry, it doesn't paste, but it moves it to the top of the list, and only then I can use the CMD+V to paste... Quirky as well, right now for some reason I can't see the "Preferences" and other entries which are usually below the clipboard entry list.

I think it's time to move on.

[garrucho]

Another great option is the Copy Less 2. I really liked it and its features.

[coccoinomane]

My personal favorite is Copy ‘em Paste, it costs 16€ but it is worth it: it has favorites, named clips, full text search, works with images, customizable shortcuts even for single clips, iCloud sync...

[nitantsoni]

ClipMenu still works. Just got the 0.4.3 version and working on 10.15.2

[eriktrom]

I found a fork of this project called clipy which is still being maintained.
It fixes the issues I had with ClipMenu like not being able to paste in the snippets.

https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy (or direct dl from https://clipy-app.com)

This works on my new iMac M1 that I just unboxed.

On my MacBook Pro when this happened a year ago, i just literally copied the binary from Applications folder from my previous laptop, that works too.

But the updated version in the link provided is a bit better (honestly, there is almost no difference).

Regarding removing an old version, Parallels Tools has a tool that will remove related files from Library directory, although you don't need to do that unless u corrupted permissions or a file, in which case, AppCleaner or the parallels tools app cleaner won't be as helpful, YMMV. Tldr - use Clipy, linked above IMHO

[NdagiStanley]

I switched to using clipboard and snippet manager in raycast: https://www.raycast.com

[carlosbaraza]

👍

[Marak]

What is problem? I download and use app. It works.

[carlosbaraza]

@francwalter made me laugh with his comment.

The application works. However, it is always interesting to have an active repo manager. At least to merge the PR.

[TimonVS]

I'm a bit concerned, @naotaka hasn't shown any online activity after november 2014. Not on GitHub, his blog and Twitter.

[coccoinomane]

I am using the compiled version 0.4.3 from the website (http://www.clipmenu.com/) and it works quite fine on macOS Sierra (10.12.2).

[ceyzaguirre4]

@ahmetb Ive been looking all over for clip menu, by now it was an essential part of my workflow. Many others probably think alike and would benefit from the publishing. Something as simple as a Dropbox link should solve @harman28, my own and others problem finding the app.

[bakari45]

@BecomingDitto, thanks for posting the download. I wonder if another developer could take over the application and keep it updated. It looks like the original developer is MIA.

[Landius]

@Pragad Yes, It works ( can't believe! )

[yueim]

10.13.5, not work.

[bzx]

@cnyyk thanks for the tip, from the quick test it seems it's working!

[hopper48]

@cnyyk when you say to "try AppCleaner to clean all files except ClipMenu.app" you mean clean all the 'caches', 'preferences' and 'crash reports, etc, as show here: https://i.postimg.cc/mgVKS5X4/Screenshot-2018-10-29-19-25-49.png

If not, could you please tell me which files I need to clean and whether it's using appleaner and uninstaller, in order to use clipMenu with Mojave?

Thanks!

[jvreeken]

I can't seem to get it to show up in the menubar... 10.13.6
I have tried using app cleaner to remove all files except the app.

[yueim]

always works fine, always, now I'm using 10.4.1

[rgl2811]

I found a solution. Go to Preferences/Security & Privacy/Accessibility. Select the privacy tab and allow ClipMenu. After doing that, it started to work.

[bzx]

@rgl2811 What you're describing is actually a requirement for the app to work, and I've got this setting enabled since the beginning. My issue is still there, and it's really annoying. I'm moving to Clipy.

[yueim]

@bzx

1. Try to remove existed configurations via AppCleaner
2. Try to use official release 0.4.3 from http://www.clipmenu.com/

@hopper48 try these tips listed above.

[yueim]

ClipMenu is really amazing. Still woks perfectly with latest macOS 10.14.2.

[bzx]

@cnyyk I'm on 0.4.4a and your tip about removing previous config doesn't work - it's still buggy. Gotta find 0.4.3... Found, and it's better. We'll see.

[giiska]

Clipy doesn't seem to work to copy/paste images, or at least I can't preview them the same way I did with ClipMenu

Edit: Clipy 1.1.5 works flawlessly

So that's the reason I come back to watch this issue again.

[ckizer]

Anyone able to get ClipMenu to work on MacOS 10.4.4? It says it's running but I can't get the interface to come up. I have the menubar item hidden.

I tried clipy but it just doesn't work with images like ClipMenu

Clipy exact version 1.1.5 works flawlessly

Actually, ClipMenu always works like a charm(I'm on 10.14.4 and 0.4.3)

1. Should try AppCleaner to clean all files except ClipMenu.app.
2. as @rgl2811 mentioned: Go to Preferences/Security & Privacy/Accessibility, select the privacy tab and allow ClipMenu. After doing that, it started to work.

I found a Clipy as reincarnation of ClipMenu.

[ckizer]

Use Clipy instead. I don’t know why this awesome app would be discontinued. Someone should make a pix version I’d pay $99 for a modern update.

What I love about Clipy and ClipMenu is they are completely invisible unless you hold a special modifier key. This should be built into the OS.

Oh I really appreciate everyone sharing. I’m going to check them all out. My fear is Clipy won’t be maintained and like clipmenu it will cease to work.

I have just found out about Clipy today. I'll be using it for a while.

I have in the past opted to have Clipmenu in my dropbox, version 0.4.3 that works perfectly even on macOS Catalina (I'm a beta user)

@naotaka 🔥👏

[ckizer]

Yeah Clippy works great on Catalina so far.

works well on 10.15.6

@nitantsoni
ClipMenu still works.
Just got the 0.4.3 version and working on 11.0.1(macOS Big Sur).
That's amazing.
@naotaka

[inspiredearth]

As others have done ... I suggest using Clipy (it's being actively maintained, and working fine on MacOS 11.3), or another similar option is Maccy. You can buy on App Store ($9.99), or install free using Homebrew (brew install --cask maccy). Maccy doesn't store the clips in folders, which is a feature of Clipy (and ClipMenu) that I think is excellent.

I give thanks for @naotaka for developing ClipMenu, and for making it open source. Wherever you may be ... thank you.

[bzx]

CopyLess2 - free, and has a killer feature: search functionality! Been using it for a longer while now, for me it's much better than ClipMenu/Clipy.

[ckizer]

Wow thanks for all these alternative suggestions. These apps or so great clippy should be build into MacOS

Still using ClipMenu in Sonoma.
There is no good alternative.
I wish he would update it.
Some of the screens are not in Dark Mode, which isn't huge, but not having iCloud sync is.
Clipy sucks. It's missing some of the best features. It's too bad they stripped it down.
It's a matter os choosing between no iCloud sync, and missing important functionality/
I still choose ClipMenu.
I hope he updates it, of passes the torch.
For now, I have to run 2 clipboard managers. I am using ClipMenu and Copy'EM.
Copy'EM is nice for some things, but not nearly as powerful as ClipMenu.
It's amazing after all of these years that it still works, even under the newest macOS.
