Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open Recopy?
On Mac, click the Recopy icon in the menu bar or use the keyboard shortcut (default: ⌘⇧V). On iPhone/iPad, open the Recopy app directly.
How do I set up the keyboard extension on iPhone?
Go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Recopy. Then enable "Allow Full Access" so the extension can access your clipboard history.
How do I set up the Share extension?
The Share extension is automatically available after installing Recopy. In any app, tap the Share button and select Recopy from the list. If you don't see it, scroll to the end and tap "More" to enable it.
Why isn't Recopy capturing my clipboard?
On Mac, ensure Recopy has Accessibility permissions in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. On iPhone, clipboard access requires the app to be in the foreground — open Recopy and copy something to start capturing.
How do I enable iCloud sync?
iCloud sync is a Pro feature. After upgrading, go to Recopy Settings → Sync and enable iCloud sync. Make sure you're signed into the same iCloud account on all devices.
Can I exclude certain apps from clipboard monitoring?
Yes. Go to Recopy Settings → Excluded Apps and add any apps you want to exclude. Password managers (1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, Bitwarden, KeePassXC, Keychain Access) are excluded by default.
How do I use Paste Queue?
Paste Queue is a Pro feature. Add items to the queue with ⌘⇧Q, then paste in sequence with ⌘⌃V. Each paste removes the item from the queue and moves to the next.
How do I restore my purchase?
Open Recopy Settings and tap "Restore Purchases". This will restore any previous purchases or subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
Does Recopy work offline?
Yes. Recopy works fully offline. iCloud sync is optional and only required if you want to sync across devices. All data is stored locally on your device.
How do I delete my clipboard history?
You can delete individual items by right-clicking (Mac) or swiping (iOS) and selecting Delete. To clear all history, go to Settings → Clear History.
