Lavender · A calm clipboard history
Clipboard history without mouse work
Find the clip, recognize it, paste it.
Persist X is designed around the repeated text and code fragments that move through a developer's day. It keeps the interaction fast and the source context visible.
- 01 · Copy
Keep recent clips available.
Copied text remains in searchable history so one overwritten clipboard does not mean finding the source again.
- 02 · Find
Search by content or app.
Recognize code through syntax highlighting, filter the history, and use the source app as another clue.
- 03 · Paste
Stay on the keyboard.
Pin the items you reuse and paste the first nine results with Cmd+1-9.
Built for repeated fragments
Less clipboard archaeology.
Keyboard-first flow
Search, choose, and quick-paste frequent results without turning a small action into a mouse trip.
Pinned items
Keep commands, snippets, addresses, or repeated responses near the top when they matter every day.
From copied fragment to durable context
Persist X retrieves the clip. Ariv keeps the reason it mattered.
