atC is a Clipboard Manager for MacOS. It’s main target is to be as simple and straight forward as needed. Simply copy something and paste it later somewhere else, but get various extra Features like pin a Clip to be remembered, get details about the Clip before you paste and even get a Context to know when, what and from where a Clip was added. This is like this: Imagine you copy something on a Website, with atC, you can not only paste it, but get information for: when did I copied it what did I copied (quicklook style preview) On which Website did I copied it atC supports no kind of Favourite tags, Groups or similar, a Clipboard Manager is not a Notebook or Memory Book,. Its a temporary collection of valuable and reusable Informations and should be used as such. atC supports also a frequently used Section. |

AtC supports 3 Modes of activating the App:
1. The basic one, simply click on the Menubar Icon at the top right corner of your Screen to open AtC
2. Use a pre-defined Shortcut: CTRL+C (that's where the name comes from ^^) to activate AtC's Window
3. New in Version 1.6+: Sidebar Mode
Open Settings and enable Sidebar Mode, choose a Screen side, and either use your Hotkey to open AtC as a sidebar or if preferred, touch the screen edge with your Cursor, to prevent accidental Activation, you can also force this to work only if the SHIFT Key is pressed, this might be handy for Fullscreen Apps like Video Players e.g. to stop AtC from revealing while you just want to move the Cursor out of the Picture
