How many clips does ClipHistory save?

ClipHistory saves 150 unpinned clips (with older ones dropping off automatically) plus unlimited pinned items. For WezTerm developers managing multiple projects, you can pin frequently-used snippets forever while keeping recent history automatically.

Is my clipboard data sent to a server?

No. ClipHistory is 100% local—nothing is stored in the cloud, no account is required, and your clipboard history never leaves your Mac. All processing (including AI transforms) can use your own API keys.

How do I use AI transforms with ClipHistory?

Open any clip in ClipHistory, select an AI transform option (summarize, translate, rewrite, clean), and pick which AI provider to use. You bring your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, or a custom endpoint. Each transform is a one-click action.

What's the total cost of ClipHistory, including AI?

ClipHistory is $19.99 as a one-time, lifetime license—no subscription ever. AI transforms use your own API keys, so costs depend on your chosen provider's pricing. There are no hidden ClipHistory fees.

Clipboard History for WezTerm Mac Developers: Boost Your Terminal Workflow

Terminal-first developers know the pain: you paste a command, then realize you needed the previous snippet. You cycle through history, search logs, or worse—retype from memory. WezTerm users on macOS face this constantly, juggling API keys, SQL queries, error traces, and config blocks across multiple projects.

A dedicated clipboard manager transforms this workflow. Instead of context-switching or losing critical snippets, you work faster, safer, and with full visibility into everything you've copied.

Why WezTerm Developers Need Clipboard History

WezTerm is a powerful GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that gives developers fine-grained control over their environment. But it doesn't include native clipboard history—you're limited to the macOS pasteboard, which holds only one item at a time.

For developers:

Code snippets disappear after you copy something else
Configuration strings get overwritten mid-task
Error messages and logs are lost the moment you switch projects
URLs and credentials aren't searchable or organized

This is why clipboard managers exist. A good one acts as a safety net, capturing everything you copy and making it instantly retrievable.

ClipHistory: Built for Developers Like You

ClipHistory is a macOS clipboard manager designed for teams and solo developers who work in the terminal. It saves your full clipboard history—150 unpinned clips plus unlimited pinned items—and makes retrieval instant.

Press ⌘⇧V to open the search interface. Type a fragment of code, a URL, or even describe what you need. Results appear in milliseconds. Found it? Hit Enter to paste. Need to keep it forever? Pin it.

Smart Type Detection

ClipHistory automatically recognizes what you've copied:

Code (Python, JavaScript, SQL, Bash, etc.)
URLs and web links
Email addresses
Color codes (hex, RGB)
Phone numbers
Images
Plain text

For WezTerm developers, this means your code snippets are visually distinct from URLs, configs are grouped separately, and images (like error screenshots) are instantly identifiable.

AI Transforms for Terminal Work

Every clip can be transformed on-the-fly using AI. Summarize a long error trace, translate documentation, rewrite a command for clarity, or clean up messy output.

ClipHistory supports 5 AI providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, and custom endpoints. You bring your own API key—there's no account, no ClipHistory backend, and no subscription for AI features. Full privacy, full control.

A real example: You paste a tangled shell command. Open ClipHistory, select it, ask the AI to "explain this in plain English." It rewrites the command with comments. Copy that back into your terminal. Done.

Snippets, Boards, and Paste Stacks

Beyond history, ClipHistory offers:

Snippets: Save templates (license headers, boilerplate configs, common aliases)
Custom Boards: Group related clips by project, language, or purpose
Paste Stack: Queue multiple items to paste sequentially (useful for multi-step setups)

WezTerm developers often manage multiple projects. Custom boards let you organize clips by repo, language, or environment, so you're never hunting through 150 items.

100% Local, No Cloud, No Account

Everything stays on your Mac. ClipHistory is 100% local—no cloud syncing, no account creation, no tracking, no team features. Your clipboard history is yours alone. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it runs safely.

For security-conscious developers, this is critical. Passwords, API keys, tokens, and credentials never leave your machine.

Pricing: One Payment, Forever

ClipHistory costs $19.99—a one-time, lifetime license. No subscription, no recurring charges, no "pro tier" that unlocks features later. You pay once and own it.

Compare that to clipboard managers charging $5–10/month or tools bundled into larger suites. For a developer who'll use ClipHistory daily for years, $19.99 is exceptional value.

How It Integrates With Your WezTerm Setup

WezTerm developers typically combine multiple tools: shell (Zsh, Fish, Bash), multiplexer (Tmux, Zellij), editor (Neovim, Helix), and language-specific tools.

ClipHistory sits above all of them:

Copy anything in WezTerm or any macOS app
Press ⌘⇧V to open ClipHistory (works anywhere, anytime)
Search or pin what you need
Paste back into WezTerm instantly

It's a macro that improves every workflow without requiring configuration.

Alternatives and How ClipHistory Compares

Other clipboard managers exist (Paste, Maccy, Alfred, Raycast, Pastebot), each with different strengths. ClipHistory stands out for developers because it combines unlimited pinning, AI transforms, full local privacy, and a simple, fast interface—all for one flat price.

It's not a full launcher or automation tool; it's a focused clipboard solution that does one thing exceptionally well.

Getting Started

ClipHistory is macOS only and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon (universal). Download it, install it, and start using ⌘⇧V immediately.

The first time you retrieve a snippet you'd otherwise have lost, you'll understand why developers depend on clipboard history.
