| Option | Meaning |
| Startup | Open ClipWorX at login starts ClipWorX automatically when you log in to your Mac. Recommended so nothing gets lost. |
| Open clipboard | The keyboard shortcut for the panel. Click the field and press the new combination. It must include ⌘, ⌥ or ⌃; esc cancels. Default restores ⌥⌘V. |
| Sounds | Play sound effects plays a short sound when an item is captured and pasted. |
| Keep history | How long items stay in the history: 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or unlimited. ClipWorX deletes older items automatically, but never pinned ones. If you choose a shorter period, ClipWorX asks first, because older items are then deleted immediately. With iCloud sync, the shortest period set on any Mac applies to all of them (see Syncing between Macs). |
| Clear History… | After confirmation, deletes all items that aren’t pinned. |
