App-specific clipboard workflows

Keep reusable material with the work it belongs to.

App Profiles separate deliberate favourites from temporary history, so a reply for Mail does not have to live beside a code snippet, design reference, or project file.

Step 1

Give one repeatable workflow a clear home

Brendan uses a Code profile for the snippets, links, and handoff context that move between Terminal, an editor, documentation, and AI agents. Start with one profile that solves a real repeated task rather than building a giant library.

The Code profile keeps intentional working material separate from recent clipboard history.
Step 2

Choose the profile without leaving the task

Open the keyboard overlay, move to the profile you need, and choose a numbered favourite. The selected material remains visible before you use it and return to the previous app.

A visible selection and numbered slots keep the repeat-paste path predictable.

Build the first profile around work you already repeat.

Use recent history for recovery and App Profile favourites for the material you return to on purpose.
