Use clipboard history in Lynx Notch

Clipboard history is in Lynx Notch, in the Clipboard tab next to the Shelf. It needs macOS 14 or later and is free on every plan.

Turn it on

Clipboard history is off until you turn it on, because it stores what you copy. Lynx asks the first time you open the tab. You can also turn it on at any time:

• in the notch, open the Clipboard tab and click Turn On, or
• in Lynx, go to Settings › Notch › Clipboard history.

macOS may ask to let Lynx see your screenshots folder (your Desktop, unless you changed it in the Screenshot app’s Options). Click Allow so new screenshots and screen recordings appear in the tab.

What it keeps

• Text and links you copy in any app.
• Pictures you copy, such as an image from a web page or a screenshot taken to the clipboard (⇧⌘⌃4).
• Files you copy in Finder.
• New screenshots and screen recordings, as soon as macOS saves them.

Lynx keeps the newest 60 items (up to 20 of them pictures) for one day.

Use it

• Click a tile to copy it again, ready to paste.
• Drag a tile into a chat, an email, a document or a Finder window.
• Right-click for Open, Show in Finder, Remove and Clear Clipboard History.

Privacy

• Copies made by password managers, which mark them as private, are never read or kept.
• Everything stays on your Mac, in Lynx’s own folder, readable only by your user account.
• Turn it off in Settings › Notch, or clear it from the Clipboard tab at any time.
