Version: 3.8.4

Still brilliant! Recently, there was an article online rating copy-paste apps, and it completely left out CopyPaste Pro. Inconceivable! IMHO this remains the single best copy-paste app available, as excellent as ever. I never run a Mac without it. If a copy-paste review doesn't include it, it's no review at all.

The website for the product was down on 15 September 2025. The company’s site is still there, but it does not link to any product pages. I hope Julian is OK.

BTW: The background UPDATE check in v3.7.95 was D E A D. If you're wondering why you missed the versions 3.7.96 - 3.7.99, that's why. You have to either DIY download the current version OR manually ask CopyPaste Pro v3.7.95 to check, which works. In the change log notes I posted below, you'll note that v3.7.97 "updated Sparkle", which solved the bug. 😝

v3.7.99 is out. As of v3.7.97 it's a universal binary, meaning it's ARM native at last. The current On Sale price is $20. Regular price is now $30. Here are the change logs since 3.7.95: "-> 3.7.96 2023-11-14 -> - updated via xcode 15.0.1 - fixed issue button to 'show preferences file in finder' in system preferences not working in Mac os 13.0. - also fixed 'show clip sets folder' - updated the provisioning profile - updated deployment target to 11.0 to fix compilation errors for newer mac os version -> 3.7.97 2023-11-15 -> - universal binary. that means copypaste finally runs native on intel or apple silicon (m1, m2, m3 etc...) depending on the processor you have. - updated sparkle -> 3.7.98 2023-11-15 -> - this is a fix for the previous version from this morning which was not universal. this one is a universal binary. that means copypaste finally runs native on intel or apple silicon (m1, m2, m3 etc...) depending on the processor you have. -> 3.7.992023-11-30 -> - fixed the archive preview of a clips first line of text to be resizable with the window to fill it's width. - fixed the image browser by removing the orange frame around the magnified clip. image browser is opened with command (held down) v v and tap a clip to paste. or move clips right or left the command key (still held down) and tap right or up arrow key to move the focus right to the next clip and tap left or down key to move the focus left to the next clip."

Doesn't work on Silicon Mac. Two years since M1 came out! Rosetta NO. But if it was Madonna, I would.
