Raycast Clipboard History Is Part of a Launcher

Raycast is an excellent app launcher that includes clipboard history. But clipboard features are secondary to its main purpose. Users who rely heavily on clipboard content often need more depth.

TextStow Is Dedicated Clipboard Management

TextStow focuses entirely on clipboard workflows: permanent bookmarks with categories, full-text search across all history, image and file tracking, and 30+ text processing tools — without needing a launcher.

When TextStow Complements Raycast

Local Storage, No Account

Like Raycast, TextStow keeps data local. But TextStow does not require any account or cloud service — clipboard data stays entirely on your Mac.
