Clipboard History
Bring back anything you copied: text, links, images, files and colors, searchable and grouped by day.
Free on every plan. Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux.
Say it
Press your Commands key and say any of these. Glaido picks the right tool.
- “Show my clipboard history”
- “What did I just copy?”
- “Find the link I copied”
Clipboard shows what you copied today, and as far back as you choose to keep it. Open it in Spotlight, type a few words, and press Enter to paste the item into the app you were in. Images show as pictures you can drag out, links open in your browser, and you can ask Glaido to find something you copied by describing it.
Search everything you copied
The newest forty items are listed by day. Type to filter, or narrow the list to text, images, files, links or colors.
Paste where you were
Enter or a double-click pastes into the app that had focus. Prefer copying? Switch Enter to copy in the settings.
Ask for it
Say "show the images I copied" and the list opens filtered to images. Highlight a row and say "rewrite this" to work on it.
Kept on your computer
History is stored on this device, and copies apps mark as concealed or temporary are skipped by default. Keep it for a day, a week, a month, a year, or until you erase it.

Where it helps
Copying from many places
Collect a link, a quote and a screenshot while you research, then paste each one where it belongs without switching back.
Recovering something you overwrote
Copied a new thing before pasting the old one? It is still in the list. Search a word from it and press Enter.
Reusing images
Find a screenshot you copied an hour ago, see it in the preview, and drag it straight into an email or a chat.
Clipboard History: questions
Is Clipboard free?
Yes. Every Glaido extension is included on every plan, Basic too.
Where is my clipboard history stored?
On your computer, in Glaido's local database. It does not sync to other devices. Erase history in the extension's settings deletes it.
How long is history kept?
A day by default. You can choose a week, a month, a year, or until you erase it. Turning the extension off does not delete what is stored.
Does it save passwords I copy?
Copies that an app marks as concealed or temporary are left out unless you turn on Keep transient copies. Check that your password manager marks its copies that way.
Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Yes, on Mac, Windows and Linux. Open With and Share are Mac only; Open works everywhere.
