Junk Yard

  1. The Junk Yard

    The Junk Yard is a board for the scraps you copy all day and the quick notes you jot down. It catches what you copy, keeps it at hand for a while, and clears each scrap away on its own timer so nothing piles up.

  2. Opening the Junk Yard from the screen edge

    Push your pointer against the right edge of the screen (or the top, if you choose) and a slim curtain of your Junk Yard scraps slides out. Click a scrap to copy it; move the pointer away and the curtain rolls back.

  3. Clipboard capture, pins and how long items last

    With Watch the clipboard on, everything you copy lands in the Junk Yard as a card — text, pictures, links and files — except passwords from a password manager. Each scrap clears itself after its auto-clear time, one day unless you choose otherwise.

  4. Searching and editing Junk Yard items

    Find a scrap by typing in the Junk Yard's search box — it matches words, file names and the text inside pictures — or narrow the board by kind, date and colour. Editing a note or picture always saves a new scrap and leaves the original as it was.

  5. Junk Yard shortcuts

    Four keyboard shortcuts work from any app — open the Junk Yard (⌃⇧J), save the clipboard to it (⌃⇧C), start a new note (⌃⇧N) and move the edge curtain between the top and right (⌃⇧D). Change or switch them off in Settings → Shortcuts.
