On your Mac
Your clipboard, your choice
Use Save Clipboard for a single item. Turn on Capture Clipboard when you want new items saved while the app runs. Pause it, choose excluded apps and set history limits.

A deliberate Paste or Share
Tap Paste in ExplorePaste, use another app’s Share sheet, or use supported drag and drop. Mobile saving happens when you choose it, without continuous background capture.
Save on iPhone or iPad →Know where your things belong
Local first.
iCloud where you choose.
Work with local items offline. Use your private Apple account for notes and selected file copies. Optional email sign-in has a separate job: your account and profile.
Read our privacy policy →Clips
Stay on the device where you save them.
Notes & files
Notes and explicitly selected file copies can use your private iCloud. Download a cloud copy before opening it offline.
Email sign-in
Understand the storage choices →Optional identity and profile. Your clips, note text and file bytes are not sent to the account service.
Small jobs, useful answers
Start with what you want to do.
The guides explain the actual controls, including what happens when you remove an item.
Can I find something across the shelf?
Search All searches clip text, note text and file names. It does not search file contents or words inside images. See search details.
What if I remove a note or file copy?
Restore it from Recently Deleted within 30 days. Clip removal is permanent, and Clear History includes favourites. Read the recovery guide.
Do I need an ExplorePaste account?
No. Local saving works without email sign-in. Private iCloud uses your Apple account. See what email sign-in does.
Where can I download it?
The Apple edition is in development. Official store links will appear on the availability page after release. Windows and Android are planned for 1.1.
Keep what helps. Find it again.
