Clipboard History

Slashit automatically saves every text snippet, link and image you copy. Press your hotkey to browse, search and paste from your last hundred copies — across every app on Mac and Windows. Built for anyone who's ever lost something to the standard "one-item" clipboard.

Your Clipboard Only Remembers One Thing

The native clipboard on Mac and Windows holds exactly one item. Copy something new, and whatever you had before is gone forever.

  • That's fine until you need it back — which, if you're honest, happens five times a day.

The link you copied two minutes ago. The paragraph you needed for two different docs. The address you keep pasting all afternoon. The macOS and Windows clipboards only hold one item, so copying something new erases the previous copy. You copy a link, then copy something else, then realize you needed the first one. You re-copy the same URL three times a day because the clipboard keeps getting overwritten. That perfect paragraph you copied from a long article? Gone the second you copied a phone number. Lost code snippets, screenshots, addresses and quotes that you "had a second ago."

Every copy, saved automatically. Browse your history with one hotkey. Paste anything, anywhere.

What You Can Do With Clipboard History

Automatic Capture of Every Copy

Slashit watches your copy actions in the background and saves every text, link and image to your history. You don't have to remember to save anything — if you copied it, it's there.

Search Your Copy History

Your history is fully searchable. A developer who copies 50 URLs, error messages and code snippets a day can type a fragment to find the exact one they need instead of scrolling through dozens of items.

Works for Text, Links and Images

Snippets of writing, full URLs, email addresses, paragraph quotes from articles, screenshots — Slashit stores them all. A researcher pulling quotes from five sources can copy each one and paste them into a doc in order, without losing any.

Universal Paste — Any App, Any Time

Whatever you pull from Clipboard History pastes into the app your cursor is in. Gmail, Slack, Notion, LinkedIn, your CRM, a code editor, a Google Doc — it all just works, no integrations required.

Recover the One You Just Lost

Copied something important, then copied something else, then realized you needed the first one? Press your hotkey, click the older item, paste. The "one-item clipboard" problem doesn't apply to you anymore.

How Clipboard History Works

  1. 1

    Install Slashit and open it once

    Clipboard History is on by default. There's nothing to configure for the basic flow.

  2. 2

    Copy text, links or images normally

    Use Ctrl+C or Cmd+C as you always do. Slashit silently saves each copy to your history in the background.

  3. 3

    Press your hotkey to open Clipboard History

    The default is Cmd+1 on Mac or Ctrl+1 on Windows. Your full copy history opens in a clean list.

  4. 4

    Pick the item you need and paste it

    Browse or search the list, click the item you want, and Slashit pastes it where your cursor is.

  5. 5

    Customize your hotkey (optional)

    Click your profile icon → Settings → Shortcut tab → "Open Clipboard" → set the key combo you prefer → Update changes.

See Clipboard History in Action

You're processing a customer support ticket. In quick succession, you copy three things: a Stripe refund link from your billing dashboard, the customer's order confirmation number from a previous email, and a shipping tracking number from the carrier's site. Now you're back in Zendesk, drafting your reply. You go to paste the Stripe link — but your clipboard only has the tracking number, the last thing you copied. Without Slashit, that means switching tabs, finding the Stripe link, re-copying it.

With Slashit, you press:

Cmd + 1

Your full clipboard history opens:

01

Tracking number

1Z999AA10123456784

02

Order #

18472-3

03

Stripe refund link

https://dashboard.stripe.com/refund/re_3OoX...

You click the Stripe refund link. It pastes into your Zendesk reply. Then Cmd+1 again, pick the tracking number, paste. Then Cmd+1, pick the order number, paste.

Three pieces of context, three keystrokes — no tab-switching, no re-copying.

  • DevelopersCopy URLs, error messages, code snippets and stack traces all day. Clipboard History keeps them all one keystroke away so you stop losing the link you copied two minutes ago to the function name you copied just now.
  • RecruitersNames, emails, LinkedIn URLs, candidate notes and ATS links pile up fast. Pull anything you've copied back into a sourcing email or candidate record without re-finding it on the page.
  • Writers & ResearchersPull quotes, links and references from multiple sources without losing any to the next copy. Build a research-heavy doc by pasting items in the order you actually need them.
  • Sales RepsCopy prospect info, calendar links, deal IDs and price quotes across your CRM, email and Slack. Press your hotkey to retrieve anything from earlier in your day.
  • Designers & MarketersColor codes, image URLs, brand asset links and copy variations all live in clipboard history. Recover the hex code or campaign URL you copied an hour ago without going back to find it.

What Users Say About Clipboard History

I copy 40–50 URLs, error messages and code snippets a day. Slashit's clipboard history is the difference between flow and constant re-copying. I can pull up any link from earlier in my day in one keystroke.
Daniel V. · Senior Backend Engineer
As a writer, I pull quotes from five or six sources for every article. Before Slashit, I'd lose one of them every time I copied something new. Now they're all just sitting in my clipboard history when I need them.
Aisha M. · Freelance Journalist
I'm a recruiter — names, links and LinkedIn URLs all day. Clipboard History keeps everything I've copied in front of me. I haven't lost a candidate link to an accidental re-copy in months.
Marcus J. · Technical Recruiter

Frequently Asked Questions About Clipboard History

What is Clipboard History in Slashit?

Clipboard History is an automatic, searchable archive of every text, link and image you copy. Every Ctrl+C or Cmd+C gets saved to a history list you can open with one hotkey, so you can paste anything you've copied recently — not just the last item. It works across every app on Mac and Windows.

How many copied items does Slashit remember?

Slashit keeps a deep history of your recent copies so you can scroll or search back through your day. The free plan covers everyday clipboard needs, and paid plans extend retention and unlock pinning, organization and team-shared snippets.

How do I open Clipboard History?

The default hotkey is Cmd+1 on Mac and Ctrl+1 on Windows. You can change it anytime — click your profile icon, go to Settings, open the Shortcut tab, click the "Open Clipboard" row, set your preferred combo and hit Update changes.

Does Clipboard History save images and links, or just text?

All three. Text, links and images you copy are saved to your clipboard history and can be pasted into any app that accepts that kind of content. Designers, marketers and support agents use this most for screenshots and asset URLs.

Is my clipboard data private and stored locally?

Your clipboard history lives on your machine. You can clear individual items or wipe the entire history from inside Slashit at any time. As a privacy practice, avoid copying highly sensitive items like passwords with clipboard history enabled, or clear them after use.

Is Clipboard History included in the free plan?

Yes. Clipboard History is part of the free plan so anyone can stop losing copies without paying. Higher plans extend history retention, add pinning and organization features and unlock the lifetime deal option.

Does Clipboard History work on both Mac and Windows?

Yes. Clipboard History is available on macOS and Windows. The default hotkey adjusts per platform (Cmd+1 on Mac, Ctrl+1 on Windows), and you can customize it on either.

How is this different from the built-in clipboard on Mac or Windows?

The built-in clipboard only holds one item — copying something new erases the previous one. Slashit's Clipboard History saves every copy automatically, lets you search through it, supports text, links and images, and works system-wide across every app on your computer.
