Ditto Clipboard Manager for Windows. Yes, I know W10/11 have it native now, but it's not as good as Ditto.

AutoHotKey

And if deleting TikTok from my phone were an app, it would be nominated, because that saved me hundreds of hours I'm sure :D

I loved ditto when I used windows. Do you know a good ditto alternative for mac?

A quick Googling found this, and it looks similar:

I haven't used ditto myself, but pastepal seems like what you want

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but when I used ditto I turned off the auto cleanup stuff. Basically I had it keep everything. I’d go cleanup manually every now and then (especially images), but having a very long term way to look up past code snippets was invaluable.

So then when I got my first Mac I felt lost without a clipboard manager with unlimited storage. I finally found Copy’em and my life has been complete again. :)
