Docs / Clipboard history
Clipboard history
Search, filter, pin, quick-paste, and drag anything you have ever copied.
What gets captured
Text, rich text, links, images, screenshots, and files — from every app, automatically. You choose how many items to keep in Settings (10–100). Older items roll off the end; pinned items never expire.
Copies made in password fields or password managers are never recorded — see Privacy & security.
Search and filter tokens
Start typing in the popup to search everything, including text inside screenshots (via built-in OCR).
Narrow results with Spotlight-style tokens that live right in the search bar:
- Type — plaintext, links, screenshots, files…
- App — only items copied from a specific app
- Date — today, this week, custom ranges
Click the filter button (or a token) to change it; press ⌫ in an empty search box to remove the last token.
Paste your way
| Gesture | Result |
|---|---|
| ↩ | Paste selected item into the previous app |
| ⌘1–⌘9 | Instantly paste items 1–9 |
| ⌘C / right-click | Copy back to the clipboard without pasting |
| Drag | Drag any row straight into another app or the Desktop |
| Pin | Keep an item at hand permanently |
Housekeeping
- Exclude specific apps from capture in Settings.
- Clear individual items, or wipe the whole history at once.
- History is stored locally in your Library folder and never synced anywhere unless you set up your own backup.
