PopClip
brew install --cask popclip
v2025.9.2
Displays a context menu with action buttons when you select text on macOS.
Why you might care
PopClip appears instantly when you highlight text, letting you perform actions (copy, paste, search, translate, etc.) without reaching for the mouse or menu bar. It's highly customizable with extensions and integrates with apps like Notion, Slack, and Markdown editors. Power users who frequently work with selected text find it saves significant time and mouse movement.
