Filter Clipboard History by Date on Mac
Need to find something you copied last week? Or during a specific meeting? TextStow lets you filter clipboard history by date — narrowing down search results to specific time periods for faster retrieval.
Large Histories Need Time-Based Filtering
When your clipboard history grows to hundreds or thousands of items, keyword search alone can return too many results. Filtering by date narrows results to a specific time period — yesterday, last week, during a specific meeting, or before a certain date.
Filter by Date Range
TextStow lets you filter clipboard history by date range. Narrow results to a specific day, week, or custom date range. Combine date filtering with keyword search to pinpoint exactly what you are looking for.
Combine with Source App Filtering
Date filtering works alongside source application filtering. Find content you copied from Chrome last Tuesday, or from Terminal during last weeks debugging session. Multiple filters make retrieval instant even with large histories.
Perfect for Meeting Notes and Research Sessions
Copied important information during a meeting last week? Research session from three days ago? Date filtering lets you jump to the specific time period and find exactly what you copied — without scrolling through unrelated entries.
Local SQLite Enables Fast Date Queries
TextStow stores clipboard history in a local SQLite database with timestamp indexing. Date filtering is instant — no cloud sync latency, no server-side processing. Filter thousands of entries in milliseconds.
History Retention and Date Management
Understanding when content was copied helps you manage clipboard history retention. Identify old entries that can be cleaned, archive important content as bookmarks before cleanup, and maintain a manageable history size.
