Question 4

Can Flycut handle copied images or files?

Accepted Answer

No, Flycut is primarily designed for text and web links based on the README features. It doesn't support images, files, or other media types, so it may not capture non-text clipboard items.

Yes, Flycut is free and open-source under the MIT license, with DRM-free versions available. It's also on the App Store, and donations are accepted via PayPal, as noted in the README.

Question 6

How to fix Flycut not working on macOS after an update?
