Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open my clipboard history?
Press Cmd+Shift+V (default shortcut) or click the SaneClip icon in your menu bar. You can customize this shortcut in Settings > Shortcuts.
How do I grant Accessibility permissions?
SaneClip needs Accessibility access to paste content into other apps. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility and enable SaneClip. The app will guide you through this on first launch.
Where is my clipboard data stored?
All data is stored locally at ~/Library/Application Support/SaneClip/ (direct download) or ~/Library/Containers/com.saneclip.app/Data/ (Mac App Store version). If you turn on iCloud sync, encrypted record data is also stored in your private CloudKit container so it can appear on your own devices. SaneClip does not send clipboard history to any third-party server.
Does SaneClip capture passwords?
SaneClip has built-in password manager detection. When enabled (Settings > Security > "Detect & skip passwords"), it recognizes the quick copy-then-clear pattern used by password managers and automatically removes those entries from history.
Can I exclude specific apps from clipboard capture?
Yes. Go to Settings > Security > Excluded Apps and add any app you want to exclude. Copies from excluded apps will not appear in your history.
How do I export or back up my data?
Go to Settings > General > Data to export or import your clipboard history as JSON. You can also export and import your settings from Settings > General > Backup & Restore.
How do I reset SaneClip completely?
Quit SaneClip, then delete the folder at ~/Library/Application Support/SaneClip/. This removes all history and settings. Relaunch the app to start fresh.
