Good to know

Which Macs does WhatTheClip support?

WhatTheClip supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.

How much clipboard history does it keep?

History is configurable and intentionally bounded for active work. Important originals still belong in their source document, asset library, or password manager.

What is an App Profile?

An App Profile groups the repeated material that belongs to a particular workflow. The complete WhatTheClip workflow supports 10 favourite slots per profile; Free uses slots 1–3 in each of its two profiles.

Does WhatTheClip upload clipboard content?

No. Managed clipboard payloads stay on the Mac. WhatTheClip has no CloudKit clipboard sync, product analytics, remote clipboard processing, or remote application logging.

When can I download WhatTheClip Free?

Free download is coming soon. The Download page will show the available build and installation details when it is ready.
