About This Launch
Reel is a native clipboard manager for macOS. It saves text, links, code, colors, images and files, with search, pinboards, previews and Markdown rendering. Press Shift+Cmd+V to open the panel and Return to paste. It needs macOS 11 or later and is Universal for Apple silicon and Intel. There is no Windows or iOS version.
Reel costs $14.99 per license, a one-time purchase and not a subscription. There is a free 14-day trial, fully featured and with no sign-up, and a refund within 14 days. There is no permanent free tier. Built by CanonForge.
Why I Built This
The Mac clipboard only keeps the last thing you copied. Reel was built so what you copy stays in a searchable history you can pin and paste back with a shortcut.
