    Clip History

    Clip history keeps a timeline of what you copied so you can review, search, reuse, or send it to other devices.

    System clipboard vs clip history

    The system clipboard usually keeps only the current item, while the app 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.

    Basic flow

    1
    Copy content in any app

    After you copy text, images, or files, the app tries to record them (background capture depends on OS settings and permissions).

    2
    Open Clip History and confirm the new record

    Check that the row exists, then review timestamp, source, and preview.

    3
    Run follow-up actions

    Re-copy, pin important clips, remove noise, or send clips to other devices.
