Clipboard History That Lives in the Mac Notch

To find something you copied earlier, hover the notch and open Clipboard. Everything you copied is there, newest first: text, links, images and files, each with a preview. Search, filter by type, and click to copy it again. Clips from password managers are always skipped, and history never leaves your Mac. Brim is $4.99, once.

The problem

macOS remembers one thing you copied. The thing you need is usually the one before that.

How it works in the notch

  1. 1

    Open Clipboard. Hover the notch and open Clipboard. The newest clip is first.

  2. 2

    Search or filter. Type to search, or filter to Text, Links, Images or Files.

  3. 3

    Copy it again. Click a clip to put it back on the pasteboard.

  4. 4

    Tidy up. Remove a clip, or clear history from the menu.

How Brim skips passwords

Password managers mark what they copy as concealed or transient. Brim follows those conventions and never saves those clips.

When another app is the better choice

If you need clips on your iPhone too, that’s a sync product; Brim keeps history on the Mac. If clipboard is the only job, Notchy has a free history; see Brim vs Notchy.

Privacy notes

Clipboard history is stored only on your Mac. Turn it off or clear it at any time. Read the privacy policy.
