CodeMenu is a handy snippet manager for macOS - and one of its neat features is the ability to run snippets. Out of the box it runs JavaScript, but it’s flexible: you can teach CodeMenu to run almost any language by pointing it at the right command-line utility or script. This short guide shows two simple examples (Python and C) so you can add languages quickly.

ClipGuru is a small, mobile-first clipboard manager built for iPhone and iPad. It solves a simple problem: when you copy something important on your device, you should be able to save it and find it again. Add clips quickly by tapping Paste inside the app or by typing a new clip — saved items are then easy to search and reuse. The macOS app complements the mobile experience for when you’re on a desktop.
