# SlotPast

> SlotPast is a clipboard manager for macOS and Windows with ten clipboard slots on the number keys. Hold Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows), press C, then a number to save a copy into that slot. Hold the same key, press V, then the number to paste it. Everything stays on the user's computer: the app has no network code.

## The problem it solves

A computer's clipboard holds one thing. Every new copy erases the one before, so people copy the same address, link or snippet again and again. SlotPast keeps ten copies at once, one per number key (1–9 and 0).

## How it works

- Save: hold ⌘/Ctrl, press C, tap 1–0. Keep the modifier held the whole time.
- Paste: hold ⌘/Ctrl, press V, tap the number.
- Normal ⌘C / ⌘V and ⌘+number (for example, switching browser tabs) keep working. SlotPast only acts when copy or paste and a number happen in one held motion.
- On Windows, if another app owns Ctrl+V+number, Ctrl+Shift+number pastes instead.

## Facts

- Platforms: macOS 10.15 Catalina or later; Windows 10 and Windows 11.
