Install First
Open the Copst DMG, drag Copst to Applications, eject the disk image, then launch Copst from Applications. Accessibility permissions can appear stuck if Copst is running from the mounted DMG.
Support
Help for setup, permissions, purchases, and clipboard history.
Open Copst
Copst is a menu-bar app. After launch, look for the Copst clipboard icon in the macOS menu bar. Use Control + Option + V for full history or Command + Shift + V for Compact Mode.
First Minute
Copy something, open Copst with either shortcut, choose a clip, then paste. Use the setup demo if you want Copst to create a sample clip for you.
Automatic Paste
Automatic paste needs macOS Accessibility permission so Copst can send Command+V to the front app after you choose a clip. Without permission, Copst still copies the selected clip to the clipboard.
Clear History
Open Copst Settings, choose the privacy/storage area, then clear local clipboard history. Pins and board assignments are local too.
Purchases
Website purchases use Stripe Checkout. After payment, copy the license key from the success page, open Copst Plans, then click Use Copied License.
Updates
Direct-download builds include Sparkle updates. Open the Copst menu-bar menu and choose Check for Updates... when a new build is available.
Diagnostics
Open Copst Settings, choose Privacy, then use Export Diagnostics.... The report includes versions, settings, counts, and permission status, but not clipboard contents, copied images, license keys, or excluded app names.
Download Warning
If a browser warns about an archive download, use the DMG from copst.app. The DMG is signed, notarized, and verified by macOS Gatekeeper.
Contact Support
Email support@copst.app with your macOS version, Copst version, and a short description of what happened. If the issue is hard to reproduce, attach an exported diagnostics report from Copst Settings.
