6.1 Download and Installation Steps

1. Download the installer: Click the download link on this page to get the .dmg disk image file for PopClip v2025.9.1. The file size is about 10MB; download speed depends on your network environment.
2. Open the disk image: Double-click the downloaded .dmg file; the system will automatically mount it and pop up the installation window. You will see a folder containing the PopClip icon.
3. Drag to install: Drag the PopClip icon on the left with your mouse to the “Applications” folder on the right. This is the most standard installation method on macOS.
4. First launch: Open the “Applications” folder, find and double-click the PopClip icon. The system may prompt “PopClip is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” Click “Open.”
5. Grant permissions: macOS will ask you to grant PopClip “Accessibility” permission so it can monitor your mouse actions and pop up the menu. Go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security” > “Accessibility,” click the lock icon to unlock, then check the checkbox next to PopClip.
6. Complete activation: Our version has built-in activation. After launching, you will see the PopClip icon in the menu bar, indicating successful installation. You can select text in any text field to test its floating menu functionality.

6.2 Common Installation Issues and Solutions

• Issue: Prompt says “Cannot open PopClip because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.”
  Solution: This is not a virus warning but macOS’s Gatekeeper protection mechanism. Go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security.” In the “Security” section, you will see a message “PopClip was blocked from opening.” Click “Open Anyway.”
• Issue: Installed but the floating menu does not pop up.
  Solution: Please check whether “Accessibility” permission has been correctly granted. Sometimes the permission list does not update promptly; try unchecking and rechecking PopClip, then restart PopClip.

7. FAQ (10 Questions)

We have compiled the 10 most common questions users encounter to help you get started quickly.

Q1: Does PopClip consume a lot of system resources?

A: No need to worry at all. PopClip is designed to be extremely lightweight, consuming almost no CPU or memory resources when running in the background. According to data provided by the developer, its memory usage is typically under 20MB, with negligible impact on Mac performance.

Q2: How do I customize the buttons displayed in the floating menu?

A: Very easily. Click the PopClip icon in the menu bar and select “Settings.” In the “Extensions” tab, you can see all installed extensions; check or uncheck them to control which buttons appear in the floating menu. You can also drag to rearrange their order.

Q3: Why does PopClip not respond in some applications?

A: This is usually due to app compatibility or permission settings. First, make sure the app is not restricted in your “Website Exclusion List” or “App Whitelist.” Second, some web-technology-based apps (such as Electron apps) may require additional configuration. Try enabling “Enhanced Compatibility” mode for that app in PopClip settings.

Q4: How do I install more extensions?

A: Open PopClip settings, click the “Extensions” tab, then click the “Get More Extensions” button at the bottom. This will open the official extension library webpage where you can browse and download over 200 extensions. After downloading, double-click the installer package to install automatically.

Q5: How do I back up and restore my PopClip settings?

A: All your settings and extension configurations are stored at the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/PopClip/. You can directly back up the entire “PopClip” folder. To restore, replace the backed-up folder back to the original path.

Q6: Does PopClip support operations under Chinese input methods?

A: Fully supported. Whether you use the system’s built-in Chinese input method or third-party ones like Sogou Input, PopClip works normally. It recognizes the text content you select, regardless of the input method.

Q7: How do I disable PopClip’s auto-popup feature?

A: In PopClip settings, turn off the “Auto Show” option. After disabling, you need to manually trigger the floating menu via keyboard shortcut (default is Command+Shift+P) or by clicking the menu bar icon.

Q8: Why can’t I send text to a specific note-taking app?

A: Please ensure the note-taking app is correctly installed on your Mac and that you have installed the corresponding PopClip extension. Some extensions (such as Obsidian) require you to specify the vault path where notes are stored in the extension settings.

Q9: Will my settings be lost after updating to a new version?

A: Normally not. PopClip updates preserve all your settings and extension configurations. However, to prevent accidents, we recommend backing up your settings according to Q5 before major version updates.

Q10: Does PopClip have a shortcut list?

A: Of course. You can quickly trigger specific PopClip functions via keyboard shortcuts. For example, the default trigger shortcut is Command+Shift+P. You can find and customize PopClip-related shortcuts in “System Settings” > “Keyboard” > “Keyboard Shortcuts” > “Services.”
