CleanClip 2.4.6 for macOS

CleanClip runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 12 or later. It's a clipboard manager that remembers what you copy so you don't have to. The current version, 2.4.6, is a tune-up that keeps the app humming on the latest macOS and tidies a few interface details.

• UI styling in the pinned view is now consistent, and previews for alias tags and images got some attention.
• Animation glitches when expanding the quick menu have been fixed.
• Compatibility updates keep things running on macOS 26, including fixes for the paste stack on that system.
• iCloud sync support was added to the paste stack, so your clipboard history can travel with you.
• The paste stack itself still does what it always did: split multiple copied lines into separate items with Command-Shift-C.

Aside from those changes, the core of CleanClip is the same. It automatically saves copied content, opens a quick menu right at your cursor, and organizes clippings into smart lists you can filter several ways. It speaks English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, Slovak, and French.

After a few days with CleanClip, you start to notice the small things that aren't shouted about in the feature list. The quick menu opens right at the text cursor, not in the middle of the screen. That saves a mouse trip every time. Holding a number key while a clipping is highlighted pastes it in a preset format — plain text, for example — without an extra step. And the app can show only what you copied inside the frontmost app, which cuts the noise when you're bouncing between a browser and a text editor.

There's also a quiet form-filling trick. When you copy several fields — name, address, phone — the paste stack lets you drop them in order, one after another. Tap the shortcut, paste, next item, paste. No hunting back through the history.

Speed-wise, CleanClip doesn't get in the way. The quick menu appears instantly on an M1 Mac, and scrolling through a few hundred clippings feels light. Memory use hovers low — around 80 MB in my normal routine, with no spikes during heavy copy sessions. I haven't seen a crash since the 2.4.6 fix landed. If you've used other clipboard managers that bog down after a week of uptime, this one stays out of the way. Cleanclip macos users on older Intel machines report the same: it's a background app that acts like one.

Version 2.4.6 irons out a few wrinkles. UI styling was unified in PinnedView, and previews for alias tags and image items got a cleanup. Animation issues in QuickMenu expansion were fixed, along with macOS 26 compatibility updates. The paste stack got its own macOS 26 fixes and now supports iCloud sync.
