'In the simplest terms, PopClip ($4.99, but you can get a free trial) adds left-click actions to text. When you highlight a block of text, PopClip automatically pops up and offers you a few different actions you can do with the text. It looks a lot like the highlight function in iOS. If you're not a fan of keyboard shortcuts, this alone is a pretty handy little feature. However, what makes PopClip truly interesting is the extensions. With these installed, you can select a block of text, and instantly send it over to your favorite to-do program, notes app, or even append that text to existed clipboard text.'
*TIP: You can make PopClip appear with AppleScript (one line): tell application 'PopClip' to appear
TIP can be helpful if you attach it to a keyboard shortcut, see HammerSpoon and Creating a Service with Automator.
'Mac App Store is unable to install older versions of purchased apps. If you previously purchased PopClip on the Mac App Store and you wish to reinstall it on your Mac running OS X 10.6 or 10.7, please install from this page and contact me for a license key.'
PopClip latest beta. This is the latest in-development version. See the release notes for details.
