Clear Clipboard History and Clipboard


Recommended Posts

Hi, is there a way to clear both the "Clipboard History" in Alfred and the macOS clipboard. I noticed that Automation Tasks have "Clear Clipboard" option, but what about the Alfred history. I was hoping to make a workflow to perform these two actions instead of typing "Clear" in Alfred and execute that Automation Task

None of this is hidden: if you explore Alfred’s preferences you’ll see everything is organised in logical places with open and readable formats. It allows for other advanced stuff, like accessing clipboard history inside a Workflow. It works pretty well because Alfred is quite fast and stable, but you’re still editing a file in a way it wasn’t intended to. In other words: it works but should still be considered a hack and not an officially supported method, which is why it isn’t officially documented.
