Switching from Flycut to Tucket

• Free and open source.
• Simple and out of the way: copy code, then paste anything from history with ⇧⌘V, even when something else is on the clipboard.
• It runs on macOS 10.10 and later, so it suits much older Macs than Tucket does.

• It is actively developed: version 1.4.3 came out on 1 November 2026, and updates are free.
• It keeps images, colours, SVGs, icons and video files as well as text, filed by type.
• Every image you copy is read on your Mac, so screenshots are searchable by their words.
• Search across everything, pinboards, notes and sequential paste.
• It costs $10 once and needs macOS 14 or later.

Stay with Flycut if:

• Flycut does everything you need for code snippets.
• Your Mac runs something older than macOS 14.
• You want free and open source.

Tucket is the better fit if:

• You want something that is still being updated.
• You copy screenshots and images, not only text.
• You want to search your history rather than cycle through it.

• 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.
• Flycut pastes from history with ⇧⌘V and Tucket opens with ⌘⌃V, so the two do not collide.
• You can run both for a while. Each keeps its own history, so nothing is lost while you decide. If both use the same keyboard shortcut, change one of them.
• If Tucket turns out not to suit you, email within 10 days for a full refund.

Checked on 7 November 2026. I build Tucket, so everything said here about Flycut comes from these pages rather than from memory:
