Clipboard history

Flikzi keeps the last 20 texts you copied, so you can paste an earlier one again. It is part of Flikzi Pro.

Open it​

  • Tap the clipboard button in the strip above the keys, left of the mic.
  • Or hold the Paste key, at the right end of the space bar.

The list takes the keys' place, with the newest copy on top. ABC at the bottom left brings the keys back.

Paste, pin, delete​

  • Tap a clip to paste it. The keys come back so you can go on typing.
  • Tap the pin to keep a clip. Pinned clips move to their own list under the others and stay until you unpin or delete them. You can pin up to 30. Use them for an address, a booking code or a link you paste often.
  • Tap the bin to delete a clip. Undo appears at the bottom right, in case you hit the wrong one.
  • Clear all removes every clip that isn't pinned.

How long clips stay​

A clip that isn't pinned goes after one hour. When there are more than 20, the oldest goes first. Copying the same text again moves it back to the top.

What is never kept​

  • Anything copied while you are in a password field.
  • Clips an app marks as sensitive, as password managers do.
  • Pictures and files. The history keeps text only.
  • Very long texts (over 20,000 characters). Android's own paste still has them.

Private to your phone​

The history is stored on your phone, in Flikzi's private storage, and is left out of Android's phone backup. Flikzi has no internet permission, so it can't be sent anywhere.

Turn it off​

In the Flikzi app, switch off Clipboard history in the Flikzi Pro box. That clears the history, pinned clips too, and nothing more is kept. You can also turn it back on from the list itself.

Without Flikzi Pro, the clipboard button doesn't show and nothing new is kept. Clips you pinned wait for Pro to come back.
