SwiftBiu

Strengths

SwiftBiu covers PopClip’s core selected-text workflow, then adds file actions, direct screen-region OCR, clipboard history, gestures and drag routes, and per-app routing in the same product. SwiftBiuX plugins can also be generated or adapted quickly with AI, so a large prebuilt extension catalog is less important.
