PopClip - A Must Have Productivity App

PopClip is a highly configurable app that lets your perform an amazing number of actions on any text you select on your display. I immediately miss it if I am working on a strange computer and on my 18-month exile to PC land at work, I searched in vain for a PC alternative. Due to Apple's stringent sandboxing rules, PopClip is no longer available in the App Store, although it is still under active development. If you have an App Store version, it will be recognized and converted when you download the update from the developer's site. New extensions are being added constantly. If you are a developer, there is a guide available to creating your own custom extensions.

My personal PopClip actions are:

• Correct Spelling
