Clip History
Clip History is the timeline of everything you copy, so you can search, reuse, and send content across devices.
System clipboard vs Octoclip
The system clipboard usually keeps only the current item, while Octoclip stores each copy event as a separate record.
What it helps you do
- Review previously copied text, images, and files.
- Find entries quickly with search and filters.
- Re-copy, pin, delete, or sync specific clips.
