Find anything you’ve ever copied

That link from last week, the address you copied yesterday, the error message in a screenshot: they’re all in your history. Finding them takes a couple of letters.

How it works

  1. Open CopyPasta from the notch, or press ⌃⌘C.
  2. Start typing. There’s no search field to click first.
  3. Matches appear as you type, with the matching words highlighted.
  4. Press ↩ to paste the top result, or use the arrow keys to pick another one.

What search looks at

  • The text of every clip, from notes to code to links.
  • The text CopyPasta recognized in your screenshots and images.
  • File names, the app you copied from, and the category a clip is in.

Capitals and accents don’t matter, so “cafe” finds “Café”.

Narrow it down

  • Use the tabs next to the notch to show only text, links, code, JSON, colors, vectors, images or files.
  • Click a category, or use the filter button to show clips from one app.
  • For a bigger view, choose Open Library from the menu bar icon (⌘L) to browse your whole history in a window.

Passwords and secrets that CopyPasta has hidden are left out of search, so typing a guess can’t confirm one.
