Jackdaw vs Pastebot
Pastebot, from the makers of Tweetbot, is a well-built clipboard manager with custom pasteboards and filters.
| Feature | Jackdaw | Pastebot |

| Clipboard history | Yes | Yes |
| File drop-zone / shelf | Yes | No |
| On-device dictation | Yes | No |
| Edit a clip in place | Yes | Yes (paste filters/rules) |
| Fully local (no cloud sync) | Yes — nothing leaves your Mac | Optional iCloud sync |

Pastebot is a great dedicated clipboard tool from a respected indie studio. Jackdaw covers the same clipboard-history ground and adds a file shelf and on-device dictation, so you need one app instead of three.
