PopClip features
Cut, copy, paste and more
With PopClip in your app toolkit, every time you select a piece of text, you will see a menu right next to it with options suitable for your selection. Cut, copy and paste bits of texts quicker and without needing to prompt the right click menu. With PopClip additional extensions, you can also delete, highlight (in supported apps) and select all.
Translate and spell check
Instead of having to copy your text into a text editor every time, use PopClip’s spell check. The app also offers an instant translator tool and you can add extensions for instant translations with Google Translate, Bing Translator, DeepL Translator, Bubble Translate, Mate Translate and more!
Transform your text
With PopClip, you can easily format your text — bold, italicize, underline, change to upper or lower case, add quotes or brackets, replace line breaks with spaces, convert Markdown to HTML and more. You can even sort your lines alphabetically, turn a comma-separated list into a line-separated one and back, or print your selected text with the default printer.
Search the web for selected text
But more often than not, we are copying a bit of text to then paste it into our favorite search engine. PopClip knows that, which is why it has a one-click option to search the web for the text you’ve selected. You can search in Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo!, Naver and more. And it’s not just the search engines with PopClip — you can also search Wikipedia, Google Maps, Amazon, Ebay, YouTube, PubMed, UrbanDictionary and many more.
Use with other apps
If you haven’t noticed, PopClip is a team player. That means the app also offers a number of convenient actions in apps like Ulysses, 2Do, Due, TaskPaper, BusyCal, Unclutter, HoudahSpot, TextSoap and numerous others.

PopClip quickly transforms into the glue that holds your entire productivity workflow together. After using PopClip daily, it’s clear that this isn't just a novelty; it is a serious time-saver that eliminates thousands of micro-interactions and keystrokes every week.

Since discovering this through SetApp, this unobtrusive but highly customisable app has become a must-have for me. Fits into my daily work perfectly without getting in the way.

one of those apps that you dont know you need until you use it. I recently upgraded computers and while setting it up i had a small period of time without it, and boy did i notice. BTW: regarding the issue of not being compatible with OS 26. My previous computer was running popclip via setapp, on macOS 26.0 and 26.1 without issue, [M1 silicone]. My new computer has [M3 silicone] is running macOS 26.1. When i intially installed popclip it also did the hanging thing [whilst in settings], and required the process to be ended to get it to quit. However when i reopened popclip, I am happy to say that it is was working just like normal again. Hope this is helpful to others, and thanks developer for a simple but really handy app, I appreciate it a lot.
