Switching from Alfred to Tucket

Alfred is a launcher, and Clipboard History is one of the features its paid Powerpack unlocks. If you are looking for an alternative, you probably want to keep Alfred and get more out of your clipboard. Here is the comparison, from Alfred’s own help pages. I build Tucket, so weigh it accordingly.

What Alfred does well

Off by default for privacy, and it ignores Keychain Access, 1Password and concealed fields out of the box.
Save any text clip as a snippet, with automatic text expansion.
Merging: press ⌘C twice quickly to append to the previous clip.
A maximum clip size, so huge copies do not bloat your history.
It lives inside Alfred, alongside its workflows and everything else the Powerpack does.

What Tucket does differently

History is not capped at 3 months: keep 50 clips, up to 1,000, or unlimited, and pinboards are never auto-deleted.
Every image you copy is read on your Mac, so screenshots are searchable by their words.
Copies are filed by type, including colours, SVGs, icons and video files.
Notes on clips, reminders, sequential paste, background removal and mood boards.
It does not do snippets or text expansion. Alfred does.

Who each one is for

Stay with Alfred if:

You rely on snippets and text expansion from your clipboard.
Three months of history is plenty and you already own the Powerpack.

Tucket is the better fit if:

You want clips to stay longer than 3 months.
You want screenshots searchable by what is in them.
You want a visual clipboard with pinboards rather than a list in your launcher.

What switching involves

Keep Alfred. Only its Clipboard History overlaps, and you can turn it off under Features, then Clipboard, if you do not want two histories.
Your existing history does not come with you. Tucket has no importer, so it starts empty and fills up from the first thing you copy.
Alfred’s clipboard hotkey is customisable, and Tucket opens with ⌘⌃V.
If Tucket turns out not to suit you, email within 10 days for a full refund.

Try Tucket

$10 once, for up to 3 Macs, with every update included. If it is not for you, email within 10 days for a full refund. Needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Questions

Do I have to give up Alfred?

No. Tucket replaces only the clipboard. Keep Alfred for everything else, and switch off its Clipboard History if you do not want two.

How long does each keep history?

Alfred lets you choose 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month or 3 months. Tucket keeps 50 clips to start with, adjustable up to 1,000 or unlimited, and pinboards are never auto-deleted.

Does Tucket do snippets like Alfred?

No. Alfred saves clips as snippets with automatic text expansion, and Tucket has no text expansion.
