Collect on Monday. Quote it perfectly on Friday.
Research is copying: passages, sources, stats and half-formed sentences. Clypy keeps all of it forever and finds it by meaning, even when you cannot remember the words.
Everything you gather, still there when you draft
- Vanished quote
The perfect passage you copied last week is buried under a hundred copies since.
- No source
You have the quote but not the URL. Now you cannot cite it.
- Exact words
You remember the idea, not the phrasing, so plain-text search comes up empty.
Nothing you copy expires
The quote you grabbed three weeks ago is still there, with the source URL it came from. Your clipboard becomes the research log you never had to keep.
A folder per piece
Drag every source, quote, and stray sentence for an article into one collection. When you sit down to draft, the whole file is one keystroke away.
From gathering to drafting without losing a thread
Highlights follow you to your desk
Copy a passage while reading on the couch. It is waiting in the strip when you open the manuscript, with no need to email it to yourself or switch apps.
Quotes land in your voice, not theirs
⇧⏎ strips fonts, sizes, and link styling on the way in. Your document stays your document, whatever you paste into it.
“that stat about attention spans”
Forget the exact words. Remember the gist. Clypy searches your history semantically and surfaces the clip anyway.
The paragraph you deleted is still there
Cut a passage from a draft and copy something else. Three days later it's one search away, exactly as you wrote it.
“It's the commonplace book I always meant to keep. I copy while I read on the couch, and it's waiting in the manuscript when I open it Monday.”
