Core workflows

ClipsX treats captured content and generated conveniences differently. The original representations remain canonical; previews, OCR, search indexes, and extension results are derived and can be rebuilt.

​

Find a clip

Use text search for exact words and identifiers. If you enable Meaning Search, semantic results can also help with concepts or partially remembered phrases. You can further organize and narrow history with pins, notes, tags, sources, and content types.

​

Inspect before reuse

A single copy can contain more than one representation, such as HTML and plain text. Preview the available forms and select the one appropriate for the next application instead of flattening the capture prematurely.

​

Derived data is replaceable

Clearing or rebuilding a search index does not delete canonical clips. Changing an embedding model creates a replacement semantic index. Extension transforms also leave the original clip unchanged.

​

Configure your shortcut

Open Settings → Keyboard to change or disable the global shortcut. ClipsX uses platform defaults and reports registration conflicts. If another app owns the shortcut, choose a different combination.

​

Check your app version

Open Settings → System → About for the installed version, commit, operating system, architecture, and Development or Release build type. Copy app info copies these details for a bug report, including the full commit when available. It does not include account information or clipboard history. Update status, checking, installation, and restart actions are also in About. Diagnostics and system configuration remain in Advanced.
