Maccy Alternative: Clipboard History in the Notch
Maccy is a beloved clipboard manager — and it's still just a clipboard manager. Notchy gives you a scrollable clipboard shelf right in the notch with pinned favorites, smart actions for links, colors and emails, and password-manager-safe behavior — then adds a file shelf, music controls, timers, and 30 more tools. Free.
Why use Notchy instead of Maccy?
- Everything Maccy does, in the notch
Every copy lands on a scrollable shelf. Pin snippets you paste all day — pins survive the history cap and even Clear. Open it with a hotkey or a Knock.
- Safe with password managers
Notchy honors the concealed/transient pasteboard markers used by 1Password and Keychain Access — secrets are never recorded into history.
- Smart actions and 30+ more tools
Copied a link, color, or email? One-tap actions appear. And the same free app covers Now Playing, file shelf, Pomodoro, HUDs, and AI usage tracking.
