Somebody called it brilliant, so I too call it Brilliant ! and very useful. But it consumes quite a bit of memory, around 280mb. GraphicConverter is just above with 380mb. Top of the list. Eugene (developer), can anything be done about this ??

I just discovered this app as I was contemplating ways to simplify my new 13" MacBook Pro desktop. During the last decade, I've been going down from 17" then 15" and now this. I had been using an ancient version of Launchbar for its clipboard history function which still worked. I also use an ancient copy of Yojimbo for notes, but this is much better for the kind of quick notes I jot down during the day. However the ability to put my various desktop items in the Files module is what brought me to the app and implementation is brilliant. Design and operation are both very well thought out, and the developer seems to be keeping current with all the new MacOS software and M1 hardware. It's hard to find excellent software like this any more.

Does far more than most in a clean interface - I use it DAILY and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a solid clipboard manager - it is an ESSENTIAL app for professionals and regular users alike...

Unclutter is brilliant, I have no idea why it took me this long to try it. Notes saves opening my favourite text editor again and again, it’s lightweight and it’s just there, ready to go. I’m using Alfred’s clipboard alongside Unclutter’s clipboard with no problems so far. Unclutter makes it easy to edit clippings. Files has replaced Yoink.
