By Victor Baro. (getnano.dev/clip)\nThe world needs more $5 apps like NanoClip. Before you roll your eyes at yet another clipboard utility, this one is actually three utilities rolled into one, and each can be summoned with its own global hotkey, fully remappable:\n\n\nClipboard history (⌃⌘V) -- everything you've copied, searchable\n\nSnippets (⌃⌘S) -- text expansion with keyword auto-triggers\n\nFlows (⌃⌘F) -- automations that transform whatever's on your clipboard\n\nUpfront, I'll tell you that you can get a portion (but not all) of what NanoClip offers from Raycast or Alfred. The developer isn't hiding from that; right on the product page he features detailed comparisons against both of those big-name launchers, plus Maccy and Paste.\nI'm a heavy Raycast user, and inside it I keep a large set of text expansion snippets I've been using for years, imported from the OG TextExpander app, which is now subscription-based. NanoClip's snippets can go head to head with Raycast's: they support dynamic placeholders for the current date, clipboard contents, or fields you fill in before pasting.\nI also use Raycast's clipboard manager, and unlimited history is one of the main reasons I pay for Pro. Raycast, however, doesn't sync clipboard history between machines, and that's why I'm continually tempted to leave it. NanoClip Pro gives me unlimited clipboard history for $5 once versus $8 every month for Raycast Pro (which adds more than just clipboard history, to be fair). It also syncs history and snippets between Macs via iCloud -- optional, for obvious privacy reasons.\nThe tools power users expect are here too: search, pinned items, and a paste queue that lets you copy several items and then paste them out in order -- handy for forms and spreadsheets. History captures text, rich text, code, links (with rich previews), images, GIFs, files, and color values, each rendered with an inline preview so you can see what you're about to paste.\nAlthough I write a lot, I confess to underusing the text manipulation tools I already own. Flows might fix that. You get 30 built-in blocks across text, image, URL, and AI categories, including regex extraction, JSON formatting, OCR, image resize/convert, URL tracking-parameter stripping, QR generation, and even Bash commands (direct-download build only). The AI blocks are strictly optional and run either locally (Apple Intelligence or Ollama) or through your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini.\nComparable apps\n\n\nMaccy is free and open source, the default recommendation for pure clipboard history, but has no snippets, flows, sync, or rich previews.\n\nPaste ($29.99/year or $89.99 lifetime) has the prettiest UI and iPhone/iPad sync, but it's a subscription for what NanoClip charges $9.99 once for.\n\nRaycast includes clipboard history (30-day retention) and snippets free inside its launcher; unlimited history and sync need Pro at $8/month.\nAlfred's Powerpack (one-time, ~£34) similarly bundles clipboard history and snippets into a launcher.\n\nNanoClip's free tier is a demo more than a daily driver (last 5 clipboard items, 3 snippets), but at $5 through July 31 -- $9.99 after -- Pro is a bargain if you need all its features.\n✉️ Reply by email","summary":"","url":"https://amerpie.lol/2026/07/09/the-world-needs-more-apps.html","date_published":"2026-07-09T16:18:46+00:00","author":{"name":"Lou Plummer","url":"https://amerpie.lol","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2025%2F09%2F1544290.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"amerpie"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-07-09 16:18","date_timestamp":1783613926,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":false,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"is_podcast":false,"note":"","syndication":[]}},{"id":"93707230","content_html":"

@jatowler I’ve paid more than $80 to Obsidian for syncing (nothing works better than the native sync) and to add a Catalyst license. I love the app, love the company and don’t ever plan to give it up.. But - it does open slow and can be a time suck to configure.
