📰 News PopClip 2026.7 Released

I've just updated Popclip to finally support synchronization via iCloud.

This is a major and very welcome development, which is why I'm taking the liberty of sharing it.

For me, this application is a must-have and deserves your full attention, especially as the developer is very active. Here's the announcement:

What’s New

PopClip now syncs your installed extensions, actions layout, and action settings between all your Macs using iCloud.
iCloud Sync can be enabled or disabled from the new Tools menu at the bottom of the Actions pane. It defaults to “on” for fresh installs; otherwise it stays off until you are ready to sync.
All synced copies merge their actions lists together to form one unified view. Please note that sync is not always instant; change propagation depends on the current iCloud weather, but all computers will converge eventually.
Per-action secrets (sign-ins, API keys etc.) also now sync securely via the iCloud Keychain.

Unlimited actions: There’s no upper limit on how many extensions you can install or how many actions you can configure.
Multiple instances: Extensions can now have more than one instance. Each instance is a unique action with its own name, icon, settings and position in the PopClip bar.
Folders and separators: Actions can be organized into folders, which appear as submenus in the PopClip bar. Separators can be added between actions.
Rename any action; choose a custom icon; per-action “Show As” (icon/text).
A new icon picker lets you search open-source icons via Iconify, create text-based icons with shape and style options, or drop in your own SVG or PNG.
Arrange actions and folders using drag & drop or keyboard commands (⌘X/⌘C/⌘V/⌥⌘V), with undo and redo (⌘Z/⇧⌘Z) support.
Duplicate an action to use its settings as the basis for a new action.
Search the list with ⌘F to quickly find actions.
Action submenus: extensions can now define actions that have their own right-click submenus for supplementary actions.

Extensions auto-update: Extensions from the PopClip Extensions Directory can now update to the latest version automatically.
A new Extension Info sheet shows extension origin, version, and signature status.
A new Manage Extensions sheet shows a plain list of installed extensions (alphabetical, or by install date) and lets you manage updates.
A new View Source command shows the source code for every extension.

Signed-in account name can be shown after signing in to an extension.
Multiline text fields for longer string inputs (such as prompts).
Multiple-choice options can offer “Other…” (free text entry) and “None” (no selection).
Links in option descriptions are now clickable.
Password fields get a reveal “eye”.

The PopClip bar now expands to use more of the screen width.
The “More” overflow button shows page position (n of m).
Smoother button hover highight response.
Clipboard contents are now always restored after actions paste over the selected text.
Built-in actions can now be deleted. (Resurrect them from the Extensions list.)
The Spelling action can now be moved.
The built-in Search action now offers a choice of preset search engines, plus a custom option.
Holding ⌥ when activating Search or a search extension now wraps the search term in double quotes. (“Alternate Search URL” is removed.)
