![]() PopClip is available for download from the developer’s website or the Mac App Store, but I recommend getting it from the Pilotmoon website, which includes a free 150-use trial the Mac App Store offers it for the same price ($14.99) but without the free trial. Just a few of the more than 200 optional extensions you can use with PopClip. ![]() PopClip works with most Mac apps and is fully compatible with macOS Monterey, with nearly 200 optional extensions already updated for Monterey (with more to come). Other extensions I use include Amazon, which launches a web browser and searches for the words you’ve selected Translate, which can translate selected text into dozens of languages Calculate, which evaluates selected text as a mathematical equation and displays the solution and Bitly, which shortens a selected URL using. And I love the Bus圜al extension, which lets me quickly create a calendar event from selected text.įinally, I turn to the Large Type extension to display a larger rendition of selected text in the middle of my screen. Other extensions I find helpful include Email, Messages, Notes, and Reminders, which create a new email, text message, note, or reminder pre-populated with the selected text. PopClip appears when you select text or summon it via keyboard shortcut. For example, I use the Title Case, Sentence Case, Lowercase, and Uppercase extensions to quickly transform the selected text. If you are feeling up to the task and willing to spend removing the stock headlights, please read onward. Select some text or type that shortcut, and PopClip instantly offers a customizable row of action buttons above or below your selection.īasic actions include Cut, Copy, Paste, dictionary lookup, web search, and more, but the real power of PopClip lies in its extensible architecture and more than 200 downloadable PopClip extensions. PopClip waits silently in the background until you select some text or summon it via keyboard shortcut. Moving right along, I’ve been using a time-saving utility called PopClip for quite some time, and it just keeps getting better. In the meantime, I strongly recommend you wait for a bug-fix release or two before you even think about upgrading to Monterey. I’m in the process of reintroducing devices and cables one at a time, hoping to determine the culprit. So something external (or its driver) is not happy under Monterey. So I disconnected every cable, hub, dock, dongle, and storage device, and I haven’t had a crash since. I finally erased my startup disk and reinstalled Monterey, but my issues continued. Finally, my Mac restarts “because of a problem,” several times a day, which never happened before Monterey. While I thought I had resolved my issues with the Photos app last week, they returned with a vengeance, and I was unable to use the Photos app on my Mac (again) until I repaired my Photos library (again). And the spinning pinwheel of death cursor rears its ugly head more often than before, too. After more than a week of almost-constant troubleshooting, many apps, including the Finder, quit unexpectedly more than under Big Sur. MacOS 12 Monterey still isn’t as stable as version 11 (Big Sur) was (at least for me).
