Ready for a different clipboard workflow? Linkhiv combines a searchable Clipboard Library, custom tags, screenshot pickup and text expansion, with optional Clipboard Island for dragging clips between apps.
Compare featuresBring your copied work into one connected workspace
Choose Linkhiv to organize projects, find screenshots and reuse text in the same app. This comparison covers CopyPaste Pro, also listed as CopyPaste Classic by its publisher—not the separate newer CopyPaste app.
Project-ready context
Custom tags, source-app filters and clip notes help you find the right item for the task.
Capture and reuse
Collect screenshots from your folder and give repeat text a trigger. Keep both with your copied material.

Search saved history, preview the right result and paste it back into your work.
A new workflow without losing keyboard access
The Clipboard Library is Linkhiv's main interface. Open it with a shortcut, filter the material you saved and preview the right clip. Use Clipboard Island when you want to drag and drop, or turn it off and stay with the Library.
The upgrade is the combination: screenshots, project tags, source context and reusable text in the same Mac app.
Switch deliberately, keep important clips safe
Before changing clipboard apps, keep a separate copy of important archives and snippets. This page does not promise automatic import of CopyPaste Pro archives into Linkhiv.
Start with the work you are copying now. Organize it with tags, add reusable text triggers and configure screenshot-folder pickup to build your Linkhiv workflow.
