This seems very similar to Paste but with a vertical paste bar instead of their horizontal one, and no support for El Capitan. What's new and different?

@iamsebj Copia has a different approach in accessing, previewing and managing the clips. We used a vertical form factor that we find more natural and added things like the dark theme, favorites, pause, type filters and a quick textual clips list accessible from the menu bar.

@marcellobertoli Right, I see! Will be interested to see your pricing.
For anyone reading through the comments: Paste's dark theme can't be manually controlled but auto-adapts to the system setting; Copia favourites are equivalent to Paste's manually-organised sections (unlimited sections with custom names and colours, drag & drop items in); Paste lacks type filters, pause, and a quick textual clips list but whether you will use them is up to you. [Filters: there are options to filter apps, confidential data, generated content]
Personally, I wouldn't use any of the added complexity in terms of features or the UI (sidenotes: Paste uses a rounded help icon in lower right of every preferences pane which would be great to see here; [+] and [-] when editing filtered apps instead of writing out the words; and seems to have a much better structure).

@iamsebj you can filter snippets in Paste by typing a query in a search bar, e.g. "Link Safari producthunt" will show all links copied from Safari that contains "producthunt" ;)
