It\u0027s based on an open source app called Jumpcut.\n\nOn the Mac, every time you copy a code piece, Flycut stores it in history. Later, you can paste it using Shift-Command-V even if you have something different in your current clipboard. You can change the hotkey and other settings in preferences.\n\nOn iOS, every time you open Flycut, it checks for a new clipping and stores it in history. Later, you can tap any item in the history list to place it on the clipboard. You can also swipe web links in the history to open them without placing them on the clipboard.\n\nDeveloped by developers for developers.\n\n**Donation:**\nIf you like Flycut, you can donate [here](https://paypal.me/flycut)\n\n## Install\n\n***For OSX 10.13 and older use DRM-Free version***\n\n***For OSX 10.14 and later use either App Store or DRM-Free versions.
