Clipboard access
macOS may ask before Stowmark reads new copies. Approving it allows local clipboard history.
Support
Clear answers, without asking for your clipboard.
Start with the essentials, understand each permission, and solve common issues while keeping sensitive copied content out of support messages.
Getting started
From first launch to first find.
Download the signed and notarized Mac release, then follow these steps to start capturing clips.
- 1
Open Stowmark
Look for the Stowmark pocket icon in the menu bar. The app is designed to remain available without occupying the Dock.
- 2
Review local history
On first use, Stowmark explains that new copies are stored locally before clipboard monitoring begins.
- 3
Copy something useful
Copy normally in another app, then open Stowmark from the menu bar or with Shift–Command–V.
- 4
Choose your paste mode
Use copy-only behavior without direct insertion, or explicitly enable one-click paste and grant the macOS access it needs.
Keyboard reference
Keep both hands on the thought.
If Shift–Command–V is already owned by another app, Stowmark automatically tries Option–Command–V.
- ⇧⌘V
- Show or hide the shelf
- ← →
- Move between visible clips
- ↩
- Paste the selected clip
- ⇧↩
- Paste as plain text
- ⌘1…9
- Paste one of the first nine visible clips
- ⌘,
- Open Settings
Permissions
You decide when direct paste is allowed.
Stowmark separates clipboard capture from the extra access needed to put a saved item directly into another app.
Troubleshooting
Start with the smallest check.
How do I use my copied text on a web desktop?
Open the Stowmark web app and sign in with the same email and password as your Mac and iPhone. The page can list, search, copy, add, and remove synced text. Browsers cannot monitor the clipboard in the background, so choose Import Clipboard or paste text into the add box while the page is open.
The shortcut opens another clipboard app
Try Option–Command–V. Stowmark uses it as a fallback when Shift–Command–V cannot be registered. The menu-bar icon always remains available.
A clip was copied but did not appear
Confirm capture is not paused, review clipboard approval in macOS, and check whether the source app marks that item as concealed or sensitive.
One-click paste returns to the wrong place
Focus the intended input, reopen Stowmark, and select the clip again. Review Accessibility and event-posting access if the permission status changed.
I want to remove local history
Delete individual clips from their context menu or use Clear History in Settings. Commercial license changes never delete existing history.
I have an old PasteNow library
On first launch, Stowmark can copy compatible entries from the preserved PasteNow database into its own local store without changing or deleting the original files.
An older website install does not show automatic updates
Builds created before the signed updater was added need one manual bridge update. After that, direct-download builds can offer Check for Updates and user-controlled automatic checks and downloads. Mac App Store builds update through Apple instead.
Does “Deactivate This Mac” cancel my subscription?
No. Deactivation only frees one device seat. To stop renewal for a direct purchase, open Manage Billing and continue to Stripe. Apple subscriptions are managed through the purchaser’s Apple Account.
Will the iPhone app monitor everything I copy?
No. iOS restricts background clipboard monitoring. The companion is designed around explicit Paste and Share actions, plus an optional keyboard for inserting clips you already saved.
Safe support
Share the problem, not the private content.
Never send clipboard contents, live license keys, payment credentials, Apple credentials, or screenshots containing private data in a support request.
