What is the Junk Yard in Storage Studio?
Short answer: The Junk Yard is Storage Studio's clipboard history and quick-notes board: it catches what you copy (text, links, images, files), shows each as a card you can copy back, and clears scraps on a timer so nothing piles up.
The Junk Yard is a clipboard history and quick-notes board built into Storage Studio. It quietly catches what you copy — text, links, images and files — shows each one as a card, and clears it away on a timer so the board never piles up.
Think of it as a scratchpad for the throwaway bits you copy all day, not a filing cabinet. Alongside what it catches automatically, you can write quick notes, add images and drop in file references yourself.
What you can do with it
- Click any card to copy it back, then paste with ⌘V.
- Search by words, file names, or the text inside a screenshot.
- Pin a scrap to the top, give it a colour, or change how long it stays.
- Slide out a slim curtain of scraps from the edge of the screen.
Everything on the board lives on your Mac. See the Junk Yard manual or the Junk Yard page for a full tour.
