Collect on Monday. Quote it perfectly on Friday.
Research is mostly copying: passages, stats, sources and sentences you're not sure about yet. Clypy keeps every one of them and finds them again by what they meant, even when you've forgotten the words.
Remember the gist. Clypy finds the words.

FreeCollections and search are part of the free plan, along with unlimited local history.
How long does Clypy keep what I copy?
As long as you want. Unlimited local history is part of the free plan, so the quote you copied in March is still there in September.
What does “search by meaning” actually mean?
You can search for what a clip was about rather than the exact words in it. “That stat about switching apps” finds a sentence that says “toggled between apps”. The search runs on your device and nothing is sent away to do it.
Will pasted quotes keep the website's formatting?
Only if you want them to. ⌥↩ in the strip, or ⌘⇧V from anywhere, pastes as plain text, so the quote takes on your document's style.
Can I copy on my phone and paste on my computer?
Yes, with Pro. Pair your devices once and what you copy on one is on the others while they're online, end-to-end encrypted. On iPhone you capture with Back Tap, the Action button or the share sheet.
Can I get interview recordings off my phone?
Yes, with Pro. Send files moves recordings, photos and documents of any size from your phone to your computer over your local network, encrypted end to end. They're saved as files in Downloads, never as clips, and they never pass through our servers.
Is my unpublished work private?
Yes. Clips are encrypted on your device with keys only your devices hold. Search and text recognition run locally, and Clypy works fully offline.
