Organise clipboard history with Spaces, pins and saved clips

Updated

The short answerPastily sorts everything you copy into Spaces such as Text, Links, Code, Images and Colors automatically. Pin a clip to keep it at the top of your history, save it to find it under Saved, and create your own Spaces for things like code templates or support replies.

Built-in Spaces

Pastily detects what you copied and files it for you. The Spaces strip lets you filter your history by:

  • All: everything, newest first
  • Text, Links, Code, Email and Numbers
  • Images and Colors (see Images and colour codes)
  • Pinned and Saved: the clips you chose to keep

Drag the tabs to put the Spaces you use most first.

Pin and save clips

Open a clip card and use the Pinned or Saved button.

  • Pinned clips stay at the top of your history, above newer copies, so your most-used snippets are always first.
  • Saved clips appear in the Saved Space, a shelf for things you want to find again later.

Good candidates: your address, a canned reply, a signature, a long command, a hex colour from your brand, an invoice note.

Rename a clip

Double-click a clip's title, or use Rename, and give it a name you will recognise, such as "Refund reply" instead of the first line of the text. Press Enter to save or Esc to cancel. You can also add a sticker to a card to spot it faster.

Create your own Spaces

  1. Open Settings → Spaces, or click Add on the Spaces strip.
  2. Create a Space and give it a name, for example "Code templates" or "Support replies".
  3. Pick a colour for it.

In Settings → Spaces you can also rename Spaces, change their colours and hide built-in Spaces you never use. Changes show up on the dashboard strip straight away.

Search

Start typing in the search field to filter your history instantly. Search works across text, links, code and colours, so you rarely need to scroll.

Delete clips and clear history

Use Delete on a card to remove one clip. Clear history removes your clipboard history after you confirm; you can also choose Control → Clear Clipboard History from the menu bar or tray icon.

Common questions

What is the difference between Pinned and Saved?

Pinned clips stay at the top of your clipboard history. Saved clips are collected in the Saved Space so you can find them again later.

Can I create my own categories for clips?

Yes. Add a custom Space from the Spaces strip or in Settings → Spaces, then give it a name and a colour. You can also rename, recolour or hide the built-in Spaces.
