Flycut Mac App: Reviewed
Flycut improves efficiency by making copy & paste less tedious. I would suggest it for any Mac user.
Purpose & Functionality
Flycut saves a list of what you've copied and lets you paste it in any app. You can set it to save as many as your last 99 copies. This means you don’t have to worry when you copy an account number or piece of code and then accidentally copy something else afterward. You can still paste it by either choose it from the menu or using a shortcut—cmd+shift+v and arrow over to your it.
If you work with code, this functionality will save you tons of time. Flycut was created with developers in mind. If you don't code, it can still be a useful tool for writing, researching, or just browsing the web.
