    I think this is a really cool, useful feature! There have actually been times in the past where I have copied something on my iPhone, then realized, oh wait, I can't paste it into the document I'm working in on my iMac. Soon I'll be able to do that!  :smiley: 
    Ditto  :smile: 

    It would be good if this worked over both Bluetooth and iCloud, prioritizing Bluetooth. In parallel it should go vie iCloud where I am guessing / hoping it will be stored for multiple pastes as mentioned above. 
    I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure that the Bluetooth option would see that much use. How many times do you use your iPhone for surfing while it is in Bluetooth range of your Mac? I might copy something  on the phone while I'm downstairs and then pick it up later on the Mac, which would need the cloud (my Mac might not be switched on). Bluetooth requires things to be a bit more instantaneous

    There are many such utilities out there. The one i use is Jumpcut, unobtrusive and does a good job.
    DOH!  Thanks, I found that on many download sites I'd never thought to even look before.  I'm going to check out OS X app Store fit or something like that.  I like the auto update and family sharing you get through that.
    The choice will take your breath away, but not all of them share clipboards between devices.

    I often do stuff on my phone even when I am next to my Mac. Weird but true. I suspect I am not alone ;)
