I have the same issue. But I think I had this issue on 11.x.y on M1 SoC.

UPDATE:
I god a colleague with intel chipser Big Sur 11.2.1 (same as me) and Clipy is recording screenshots for him.

I also have a problem with formatted text, it looks that only plain text can be pasted...

How did you even get it to run on Big Sur 11.2.1. It simply will not run on mine. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times. When I double click to open, the app icon does the open animation, but the program does not actually open.

Is there something I can do to force it to open?

I'm having the same problem. Clipy runs, but since Big Sur there've been no screenshot or copied images in my Snippets list. This is a major bummer... my mouse is working overtime!

you can check your safety and privacy settings. It maybe stopped by some security settings.

Clipy already has permission for "Accessibility". Are there other settings I should give it permission for?

SOLUTION(?):

I went to "Security & Privacy" --> "Privacy" --> "Full Disk Access" --> "+" and added Clipy.app. After a restart (Clipy) screenshots started to appear in the Clipy preview pane. SOLVED (for me).

Just tried that, but I still can't even get it to open in the first place! Even restarted my machine and still nothing.

Any other suggestions?

Dang, dunno. Do you have an admin account on the machine you're using?

Similarly, in version 1.2.1 , using cmd+c for pictures files allows you to copy pictures to the history, but for other screenshots or pictures(e.g. snipates screenshots or webpage images...) saved to the clipboard, it will not be saved to the history directly.

It was free when I bought it, and I haven't noticed any differences.

For now it costs 1$ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelican-clipboard-manager/id1524721688?mt=12
and images are not showed in clipboard menu, but you could paste it to anywhere
