Why SideClip

A place for clipboard history,
beside your Mac.

Open a panel on screen

  • The history panel overlaps your workspace.
  • Your eyes and pointer move every time you paste.
  • Shortcuts and settings stay in your head.

Keep it beside you

History lives beside your Mac.
Keep looking at your work, tap a phone card, and paste.

  • Copy history is always visible on your phone.
  • Tap a card to paste it back to your Mac.
  • Keep your workspace clear and your focus intact.

Usage and limits

Are there limits on saved data types or sizes?

Yes. To keep clipboard history from growing too large and to prevent sluggish behavior, SideClip applies the following limits. These may change in app updates.

  • Plain text: up to 50 KB per copy
  • Images such as JPG, PNG, and TIFF: up to 10 MB per image
  • Other files: only a link to the file on your Mac is copied. The link stops working if the file is moved.
Is there a card save limit?

Yes. Save limits differ by plan.

After installing the app, check the Plan menu shown on the phone-side screen for details.

When the limit is exceeded, older data is deleted automatically. Data saved to Favorite is not deleted automatically.

Can I use SideClip with phone tethering?

Yes. Depending on network conditions, copy and paste updates may take longer on a tethered connection.
