Getting started

Clipboard history on Mac: find something you copied earlier

Find an earlier copied link or text on Mac. Learn the Spotlight method in macOS 26, the Dashi workflow and why some copies cannot be recovered.

Everyday workflows

Keep useful client replies, project links, contacts and references in Dashi. Learn how pins work, what cleanup preserves and what not to save.

Copy and paste

Avoid unwanted fonts and colors using macOS Paste and Match Style, or copy plain text from an earlier Dashi history item before pasting it.

Privacy

Understand Dashi’s password encryption, lock behavior and app exclusions, including what they do not protect, before keeping work copies on your Mac.

Manage your history

Set Dashi clipboard history retention, keep pinned copies and understand why deleting history does not clear your Mac’s current system clipboard.
