CLIPBOARD HISTORY
A local-first clipboard history for Mac
ScenesFlow keeps copied text, code, links, colors, images, and files on your Mac, with fast search, previews, favorites, and reuse.
Recording can be paused, link preview is off by default, and file copies are stored as path references instead of duplicated files.

Built around the way clipboard work actually happens
Classify clearly
Show text, code, links, colors, images, files, folders, and file groups with type-specific summaries.
Find quickly
Search across titles, content, paths, domains, file names, and color values.
Reuse safely
Copy, favorite, preview, delete, reveal in Finder, or open links only after confirmation.
Eight content types, one clean history
1
Text
Plain text summaries with character counts, copy, and preview.
2
Code
Language-aware snippets with line counts and horizontal preview.
3
Links
Dedicated link cells with title, URL, domain, and confirm-before-open behavior.
4
Colors
HEX, RGB/RGBA, and NSColor values with swatches and multi-format copy.
5
Images
Real clipboard images can be cached; image files are kept as path references.
6
Files
File names, paths, size, dates, existence status, and Finder actions.
7
Folders
Folder paths, content counts, status, and Finder actions.
8
File groups
Up to 100 copied file and folder paths, without duplicating original files.
Narrow panels, focused previews
Image preview
Open in Preview, save as, and inspect dimensions, format, and cache size.
Code preview
Monospaced code, language labels, and horizontal scrolling instead of forced wrapping.
Color preview
A large color swatch with HEX, RGB, RGBA, and NSColor copy actions.
File preview
Copy paths, check file status, and reveal files or folders in Finder.
Privacy controls are part of the workflow
Clipboard history can contain sensitive information, so ScenesFlow keeps the controls visible and conservative.
Recent clipboard items are not shown directly in the menu.
Pause recording for 15 minutes, 1 hour, or until tomorrow; paused content is not backfilled later.
Sensitive-content detection is an auxiliary safeguard and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Link title and favicon fetching is off by default and skips local, intranet, and sensitive-parameter URLs.
Files, folders, and image files are stored as paths, not duplicated into a private file store.
Local guardrails Default cautious
Granular recording and storage settings
Recording controls Local settings
Enable only the content types you want, set retention limits, clean unused preview caches, and decide whether the panel should focus search or close after copying.
Recording
Turn clipboard history on or off, pause temporarily, and control text, code, colors, links, images, files, and folders separately.
Ignored apps
Skip content from selected apps, with a reminder that source detection depends on the frontmost app at copy time.
Storage
Limit history to 50, 100, 150, or 200 items and auto-clean after 1, 3, 7, or 30 days.
Behavior
Choose the default tab, search focus, copy-after-close behavior, feedback sound, haptics, and keyboard shortcut.
Clipboard history FAQ
Does ScenesFlow upload clipboard history?
No. Clipboard history is stored locally on your Mac by default and is not uploaded to cloud services.
Will paused content be saved after recording resumes?
No. Content copied while recording is paused is treated as handled and will not be backfilled later.
Are copied files duplicated?
No. Files, folders, image files, and file groups are stored as path references. Original files are not copied.
Can link previews access websites automatically?
No. Title and favicon fetching is off by default and only runs after you enable it.
