Cons
Con Not in the App store – has to be sideloaded
Con Doesn't recognize num block
The past shortcuts like ⌘+0 don't with using a num block.
Con AutoUpdates not available
Con Adds unnecessary extra step to the copy/paste process
You should be able to select an item from this product's drop-down menu and have the item automatically pasted wherever your cursor happens to be. That’s not what CopyClip does. It makes you select the to-be-pasted item, THEN it makes you (1) switch to the app where your cursor is, and (2) hit command-paste. Sorry, that’s too many steps.
Con Not searchable
Ttores up to 1000 clips but you can't search anything..
