I've been using TextStow for this — local-first clipboard history combined with prompt templates and text cleanup for messy copied content. Worth a look: textstow.com

Interesting approach with the menubar focus. For people who also need to organize and reuse copied content beyond just history, TextStow takes a slightly different angle: it combines clipboard history with a reusable text workspace — prompt templates with variables, favorites/folders, and built-in cleanup for messy copied text (PDF line breaks, JSON, URLs).
