About the app
Meet BBEdit
BBEdit connects to ActionClip so you can send selected text without copying and pasting it manually.
Included actions
Choose only what you need
This integration adds one focused BBEdit action to ActionClip.
| Action | Outcome |
|---|---|
| New Document | Create a new BBEdit text document containing the selection. |
Workflow
How it works
- Select the text you want to use.
- Choose your BBEdit action from ActionClip.
- ActionClip sends the selection to BBEdit and opens the app for you.
| Connection | Local app integration |
|---|---|
| Result | Opens or updates BBEdit |
| Configuration | Every action is enabled separately |
| Internet | Depends on how BBEdit is configured |
Before you add it
Requirements and privacy
- Before you start: Install BBEdit and allow ActionClip to control it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation.
- Your selected text: Passes selected text locally to BBEdit only when you run this action. The destination app controls storage, processing, and any sync.
Nothing is sent until you click the action. ActionClip never runs this integration quietly in the background.
