Weft — Support

A clipboard that remembers, for macOS.

Getting in touch

Report bugs and ask questions by opening an issue: github.com/JoeFerrucci/weft-privacy/issues. Include your macOS version and, if something crashed, roughly what you were doing at the time.

The basics

Weft lives in your menu bar; it has no dock icon and no main window. Click the woven glyph in the menu bar to open it, or set a global hotkey in Preferences.

• Type to filter the list — it matches the clip text and the app it came from.
• ↑ ↓ move the selection, return pastes.
• ⌘1–⌘0 paste the first ten visible rows directly.
• esc clears the filter; press it again to close.

Common questions

Nothing happens when I choose a clip

By default Weft puts the clip on your clipboard and hands focus back to the app you were in — you then press ⌘V yourself. If you want Weft to paste for you, turn on Paste automatically in Preferences.

Auto-paste isn't working

Pressing ⌘V on your behalf needs permission. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and switch Weft on. If it's already on and still not pasting, switch it off and on again — macOS occasionally drops the grant after an app updates.

How do I paste without auto-paste, just once?

Hold ⌥ while choosing a clip. Option inverts whatever the preference says, in both directions — so with auto-paste on, ⌥ copies without pasting.

Weft didn't record something I copied

That's usually deliberate. Weft ignores clipboard items marked concealed, which is what password managers and one-time-code fields use, and it skips content marked transient or automatically generated.

Where is my history stored?

In Weft's own sandbox container on your Mac. See the privacy policy for what's kept and for how sync handles it.

How do I set a hotkey?

Open Weft, click the gear in the footer, and record a shortcut next to Toggle Weft with hotkey. None is set out of the box.
