Hey, I have the same issue and try many troubleshooting steps but it’s seems not exists in the menu it self , BTW i’m using Setapp,
and it’s enabled in Accessibility
Hi @Mohammed-Alama , can you tell me in more detail the problem you are having. Are you able to access the PopClip settings window when you double-click PopClip’s icon in the Applications folder?
I can’t access it at all even if i disable bartender when i click on it from setapp folder it’s just give me a sense it will open but nothing happend , checked the activity monitor and search for pop can’t find anything
This sounds like a different issue from the thread you are commenting on since it sounds like PopClip isn’t starting up at all for you. It is probably not anything to do with Accessibility.
Can you try deleting PopClip app from the Setapp folder and then re-starting the Mac. Then reinstall PopClip again from Setapp.
Did the steps but same behavior
Can you take a look in Console app and see if there are any entries in the sidebar under Crash Reports for PopClip?
Also what version of macOS are you using please?
I got a crash report

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I investigate the crash report and get back to you.

Unfortunately the crash log does not give a big clue as to the problem so we will need to investigate further together.
I’m wondering if the crash is occuring when trying to load one of your existing extensions.
Please will you:
1. Locate the ~/Library/Application Support/PopClip/Extensions folder in Finder. Rename it to Extensions_old.
2. Then also find the ~/Library/Preferences/com.pilotmoon.popclip.plist file and rename it to com.pilotmoon.popclip_old.plist.
(By doing this we have cleared the extensions and preferences, but still kept them so you can put them back later.)
3. Then try launching PopClip again.
EDIT: new plan, see next post
OK I’m getting closer to the problem… New plan! Please run command in Console:
defaults read com.pilotmoon.popclip
And send me the output.
OK … I think I have an answer. I think you might have all your actions disabled except for Spelling?
If so, in this condition, PopClip 2025.9 will crash at launch.
You can work around this for now enabling one action. In Terminal run:
defaults write com.pilotmoon.popclip enable-action-copy -bool YES
Which will allow PopClip to launch. You will have to keep this one extra action (Copy, or whatever you prefer) enabled for now. I will fix this in the next update. Expect a beta next week – I have to stop work for the weekend now.
Oops!
Correct command is:
defaults write com.pilotmoon.popclip enable-action-copy -bool YES
It’s working well now , Thank you very much
