Note: Not comfortable with allowing JumpCut on your Mac? Fl圜ut is a “fork” of JumpCut – this means it’s a version of JumpCut built by a separate team to add additional features by building on the original application. Or you can go to Applications, locate the app, right-click and select Open. Since this is a safe app, you can go to System Preferences > General and pick “Open Anyways” to allow Jumpcut to run. This is completely normal – by default, your Mac tries to protect you from potential viruses by preventing unrecognized programs from running. When you do download it, you will probably see a message saying the app can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. It’s not the fanciest app, but it has been around for a while and will work reliably. JumpCut is an open-source clipboard tool that will allow you to see your full clipboard history as needed. There are a lot of options, so here are a few of our favorites. If you want to copy multiple things, you’ll need to install a clipboard tool to accomplish this. Note: This clipboard feature is pretty limited since you can only see one thing at a time and you can’t recover old items that you’ve copied.

To copy something to the clipboard, select it and then press Command + C, and to paste it press Command + V.

For example, my clipboard contains a sentence of plain text, but it can also store images or files. When you do this, a small window will pop up and show you what’s being stored and what type of content it is. You can see what’s stored there by opening Finder and then choosing Edit > Show Clipboard. The clipboard is the place where your Mac stores the item you most recently copied.
