Clipboard History Manager

Overview

A Scriptable script that saves and retrieves clipboard history for quick access. This would allow users to store multiple clipboard entries and recall them when needed.

Features

• Automatically save copied text to a history file or local storage.
• Retrieve previous clipboard entries using a Scriptable notification or widget.
• Search functionality to find specific clipboard entries.
• Ability to clear history when needed.
• Configurable history limit (e.g., last 50 entries).
• Support for plain text (initially), with potential expansion to rich text.

Use Cases

• Quickly recalling previously copied text without re-copying.
• Preventing accidental loss of clipboard data.
• Enhancing productivity by managing multiple copied items.

Implementation Ideas

• Use Scriptable’s Pasteboard API to capture clipboard contents.
• Store history in FileManager or Keychain for persistence.
• Display past clipboard entries using Scriptable notifications or widgets.
• Implement a simple UI using alerts or choose-from-list prompts.
• Provide an option to manually trigger saving and retrieving clipboard entries.

Acceptance Criteria

• The script captures clipboard history automatically.
• Users can retrieve past clipboard entries from a menu or widget.
• History management options (clear, set limits) are available.
• Works on iOS with Scriptable.
