Install Stash

Download and open Stash.dmg, then run this in Terminal:

cp -R "/Volumes/Stash/Stash.app" "/Applications/" && xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Stash.app" && open "/Applications/Stash.app"

This unsigned build requires removing its download quarantine. If your managed Mac blocks installation, ask your administrator to allow it.

Open history with ⌥ Space, or choose Show Stash from the menu-bar icon. After restoring an item, paste with ⌘ V.

Stash can record sensitive clipboard content. Pause recording whenever you need to.
