Mac clipboard history
You copied it earlier. You can use it again.
A link from a few minutes ago, a sentence you need twice, a file you meant to paste somewhere else. Turn on clipboard history to keep those recent copies within reach.
The demo shows choosing an earlier item from the history list and pasting it back into a document.
Turn it on, then copy something

ODin the menu bar and openClipboard History. - Turn on
Enable Clipboard History. It's off by default. - Copy something, then press

History starts when you enable the feature. It can't recover items that weren't saved while it was running.
Keep what you need, clear what you don't
History supports text, formatted content, links, images, and file records. Open the list to find a previous copy and inspect its contents before using it again.
Set History Limit to keep between 1 and 999 recent entries. Delete an individual entry, or choose Clear All to remove every saved entry.
Your history stays on this Mac
OmniDock doesn't upload your clipboard history. It skips items that their source app explicitly marks as temporary, concealed, or automatically generated, but that won't catch every sensitive item. Clear anything you don't want to keep.
Automatic paste needs Accessibility permission. Without it, you can still copy a saved item and paste it yourself with Command-V. Read the privacy policy for storage details and limits.
