CLIPBOARD HISTORY FOR MAC

Clipboard history, in your MacBook’s notch.

Copy something, then copy something else, and the first thing is gone. FunNotch keeps the last fifty things you copied one hover away, searchable and labelled with the app they came from.

What it does.

The FunNotch Clipboard tab showing five copied entries as cards, each labelled Safari, Finder, Notes or Terminal, with a search field and a Clear button.
The Clipboard tab. Pinned entries sit first.

Every time you copy text, an image or a file, FunNotch adds it to a history. Hover the notch, open the Clipboard tab, and each entry is a card showing what it is and which app it was copied from. Click a card and it is back on your clipboard, ready to paste.

Search, pin and move.

  • Search. Type a few letters to filter the history down to the entry you want.
  • Pin. Pinned entries stay at the front, survive the history limit and never expire. Pinning is how you say “keep this.”
  • Send to the shelf. A copied file or image can be moved onto the file shelf to drag somewhere else.
  • Clear. One click empties the history and leaves your pinned entries alone.

Built to forget.

A clipboard manager sees everything you copy, so FunNotch is careful about what it keeps.

  • Passwords are skipped. Anything a password manager marks as concealed or transient is never recorded.
  • History expires. Entries are removed after 24 hours by default. You can change the window or turn expiry off.
  • It stays on your Mac. The history is stored locally and is not sent anywhere. FunNotch has no account, analytics or telemetry.

The history holds 50 entries by default, and you can raise or lower the limit in Settings.

Common questions.

Does FunNotch save my passwords to the clipboard history?

No. Entries that a password manager marks as concealed or transient are skipped and never written to the history.

How many items does the clipboard history keep?

Fifty by default, and the limit is adjustable in Settings. Unpinned entries also expire after 24 hours unless you change that.

Is this a full clipboard manager?

It covers the everyday job: history, search, pinning and images. If you want snippets, sync or rules, a dedicated clipboard manager does more. FunNotch is for having clipboard history in the same place as your music, files and focus timer.
