There's so much less information you'll have to remember once you have clipboard history. If you think you might need something later, just copy it. If it's important, rename it with ⌘ R. Beautiful visuals and blazingly fast search make it effortless to recall things by link, content, application, or even the text in screenshots.

Acceleration. Top Speed.
