Version 1.0 was released on the Mac App Store on July 18, 2011. Here’s the original promotional demo video:
As you can see, v1.0 had exactly three features: Cut, Copy, Paste … and nothing else!
The Search, Open Link, Spelling and Dictionary actions would not be added until 4 months later. Extension support was added in May 2012 and the first extension was Google Translate. We’ve come a long way since!
I want to thank every single customer who has ever used PopClip, everyone who has ever sent in a support email or tweeted or posted on the forum, made an extension or snippet, or told a friend about PopClip (or made a blog post about it or even a YouTube video!)
The next release of PopClip, version 2026.7, will come out next week.
PopClip is one of those tools[1] that I immediately miss when it’s not installed on another Mac. Thank you for the ongoing updates and improvements over the years.
1: The others being LaunchBar, Moom and Keyboard Maestro.
I can only agree with Kolkrabe! PopClip is one of the first tools I install, and it’s the one I miss most painfully on Windows. And this anniversary also reminds me how long I’ve already had a Mac.
@nick Thank you very much for the continuous development of PopClip. I especially appreciate that you’ve stayed committed to working on it for so long.
Happy birthday to Popclip. I don’t know how life would have been without popclip. Very lucky to have come across it long back and using it every single minute on my Macs. Thanks nick
