    it seems to be an excellent alternative to Popclip. Developer is very reactive

    Just discovered ActionClip and honestly, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it sooner! 🤯 It’s one of those Mac tools that immediately makes you think, “Why isn’t this built into macOS?” Being able to select text and instantly rewrite, translate, summarize, search, or run custom actions without constantly switching between apps is incredibly convenient. Such a simple idea, but it can seriously speed up everyday workflows. Definitely one of my favorite Mac finds lately! 🔥

    Great app, and it keeps getting better! What I love most is the thoughtful UI design, as well as some ActionClips I couldn't find in the major alternative. I also love that you can easily create your own ActionClips rather than waiting for the developer to add them, which is a huge standout feature. Can't wait for the marketplace feature to drop to see what kinds of clips and ideas everyone comes up with!

For a long time, the experience that Action Clip gives to its users has been the sole province of Pop Clip. The release of Action Clip was a truly significant event. The app is still in its infancy, but its growth has been amazingly fast. Users are actively making suggestions, and the developers are examining them and actively polishing them. It already has some advantages over Pop Clip at the moment (e.g., creation of actions by AI), and I am very much looking forward to the future of this app.

What is ActionClip?

ActionClip helps you act on selected text without interrupting your workflow. Highlight text in almost any Mac app, and a compact floating toolbar appears nearby with useful actions for copying, formatting, translating, searching, taking notes, converting currencies and units, creating events, improving writing with AI, and more. Its context-aware suggestions surface the most relevant action for what you select, whether it’s a link, address, date, command, foreign-language phrase, or long passage of text. You can also create reusable custom actions using AI prompts, URLs, JavaScript, shell commands, or AppleScript, either through a guided builder or by simply describing what you want. ActionClip is a native, local-first macOS menu-bar app designed for speed and privacy. It requires no account, includes no analytics or tracking, and keeps online features under your control.
