Clipboard history that follows you across every device

The system clipboard remembers exactly one thing: the last item you copied. FileClipSync replaces it with a searchable history that follows you across every device you own. Copy something on your phone and it is in the history on your Mac; scroll back to a link you copied an hour ago and paste it anywhere. Everything is end-to-end encrypted and stored on your own devices - the history is yours, not a service's.

The annoying bit

Copy one thing, then copy another, and the first is gone - a small annoyance that adds up over a day of research, coding or writing. Standalone clipboard managers fix the history but only on one machine, and the cloud ones that do sync usually park your entire copy history on their servers, which is a lot of trust for something that quietly captures everything you copy.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Install FileClipSync

    Set it up on your Mac and add any companions you want - iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows or Linux.

  2. 2

    Connect your devices

    Pair them once. Apple devices discover each other automatically, and Android, Windows and Linux join over the local network.

  3. 3

    Copy as you normally do

    Every text snippet, link, image, colour or file you copy is added to the shelf history automatically.

  4. 4

    Search and scroll back

    Open the shelf, type to filter, and pick any earlier item - not just the most recent - to paste it.

  5. 5

    Let it tidy itself

    Auto-Wipe clears the history after a delay you choose, and sensitive items like passwords are quarantined in the Vault instead of lingering.

Questions

Is my clipboard history stored in the cloud?

The history lives on your own devices. Between Apple devices it syncs through your private iCloud when they are apart; between Apple and non-Apple devices it syncs only over the local network. Either way it is end-to-end encrypted and we never see it.

How far back does the history go?

The shelf keeps a rolling history you can search, and Auto-Wipe lets you set how long items stick around before they are cleared automatically.

Are passwords and card numbers kept in the history?

No. FileClipSync detects sensitive items, wipes them from the clipboard, and locks a copy in a Touch ID-protected Vault rather than leaving them in the visible history.

Can I search the history?

Yes. Open the shelf and start typing to filter by text; items are grouped by type - links, images, files, code and more.

Does the history sync to my phone?

Yes. What you copy on one device appears in the history on the others you have connected, in any direction.

← All use cases

Stop hunting for that thing you just copied.

Capture it once, find it anywhere, keep it private. The shelf your Mac and iPhone always needed.
