# Is the Junk Yard a clipboard manager?

Yes — clipboard history is a big part of what the Junk Yard does. With **Watch the clipboard** on, everything you copy lands on the board as a card, so you can go back and copy something again long after you've copied something else.

It's also more than a history list: you can write rich-text notes, edit images, colour-code and pin scraps, and search by meaning on Macs with Apple Intelligence. And unlike a list that grows forever, every scrap clears itself on a timer you choose.
