Ditto Is a Windows Clipboard Manager

Ditto is a well-known, free clipboard manager for Windows. It stores clipboard history, provides search, and lets you organize clips. However, Ditto is Windows-only and does not run on macOS. If you recently switched from Windows to Mac, you need a Mac-native alternative.

TextStow: The Mac Clipboard Manager for Former Ditto Users

TextStow provides the core features Ditto users expect: automatic clipboard history, full-text search across all copied content, and organization via bookmarks and categories. Plus, TextStow adds built-in text tools, image/file support, and 100% local storage — features Ditto does not offer.

3

Similar Features, Mac-Native Experience

Like Ditto, TextStow records everything you copy and makes it searchable. But TextStow is built for macOS from the ground up — native menu bar integration, Mac-style keyboard shortcuts, and design that fits seamlessly into your Mac workflow.

Beyond Ditto: Bookmarks and Text Tools

TextStow goes further than Ditto with permanent bookmarks organized by categories, 30+ built-in text processing tools (JSON formatter, Base64, PDF repair), and image/file support. If you loved Ditto but want more, TextStow is the natural upgrade.

5

Local-First Privacy

Ditto stores data locally on Windows. TextStow follows the same philosophy on Mac — 100% local storage with no cloud sync, no telemetry, and no network transfer. Your clipboard content stays on your machine.

6

Currently macOS Only

TextStow is designed specifically for macOS and does not have a Windows version. If you use both Windows and Mac, you would use Ditto on Windows and TextStow on Mac — each optimized for its platform.
