PopClip Free Download Latest Version for macOS. It is a full offline installer and standalone setup for macOS.
PopClip Overview
PopClip is a macOS productivity utility developed by Pilotmoon Software that provides quick access to useful actions whenever you select text with the mouse or trackpad. When text is selected, PopClip displays a small popover containing actions such as Copy, Paste, Cut, Search, and other available commands. Its main advantage is that it can be customized with extensions, allowing users to add actions for translation, formatting, dictionaries, text processing, URL handling, automation, and many other workflows.
PopClip is designed to work across many Mac applications and can be especially useful for writers, researchers, developers, students, and anyone who frequently works with selected text. Users can install extensions to expand its functionality and create a personalized action bar. It also supports keyboard activation, customizable actions, snippets, and automation through AppleScript, shell scripts, JavaScript, and Shortcuts-related extensions.
The current PopClip release line supports both Intel 64-bit and Apple Silicon Macs. The latest production download listed by the developer requires macOS 13.5 or later, while older PopClip releases are available for Macs running earlier versions of macOS.
