Welcome to Klipboard! Your intelligent clipboard manager. Klipboard helps manage all of your copied clippings for easy access across all of your iOS and Mac devices. It will help you stay organized and improve your productivity.

Below is the introduction overlay you see when you first open Klipboard on macOS.

Let’s start from the top with “Klipboard Lists”.

You default root list is the list titled “Klipboard”. Here you will see all of your clippings. Default pre-set lists include images and websites. You can choose “Create New List” to create new category lists to organize your other clippings.

On the main screen, you will notice the shortcut keys on the right-side. These shortcut combinations allow you to easily copy these saved clippings onto your current clipboard. Right click to delete or edit any clipping.

You will also notice 5 options in the menu bar below.

1. iCloud – This will sync your clippings on to iCloud and all the devices connected to your iCloud account with Klipboard installed (e.g. your Mac, iPod, iPad, other iPhones)
2. Plain Text – This will switch to plain text mode and won’t copy fonts face, type, size, etc.
3. Pause – This will pause saving to your Klipboard. When you don’t want to save certain items to your Klipboard.
4. Clear – This will completely clear and delete all of your clippings from your Klipboard.
5. Search – This is useful when you have hundreds of clippings to search through.

Settings will allow you to edit how many clippings to save and also access “exceptions”. “Exceptions” is our blacklist where you can exclude any private apps where you do not wish to copy sensitive information onto your Klipboard.

Hope you found this helpful! Let us know below, so we can improve our support. 🙂

Navigate to your “Pictures” folder. You can also press SHIFT + CMD + G to open up the shortcut and navigate to ~/Pictures/

From here you should see your iPhoto, Photo Booth, and Photos Libraries.

Drag & Drop these to scan for duplicates. That’s it! 🙂

To check the SHA-1 and/or MD5 hash checksum of your files, navigate to your terminal. You can use the shortcut to open up spotlight and type “terminal”.

Once in termal you can type the syntax:

shasum /path/to/file

To verify a file named “test.png” and “test2.png” in the current folder we’re in, it would be:

shasum test.png test2.png

That long hexadecimal string is the SHA1 hash.

Similarly for MD5, you can type the same syntax:

md5 /path/to/file

To verify a file named “test.png” and “test2.png” in the current folder we’re in, it would be:

md5 test.png test2.png

In the above screenshot you can also see the MD5 example.

Please remember to close Photos/iPhoto applications when scanning. Run the scanner after you close the applications and it should work. 🙂

If you are on a network drive or external drive, files can only be permanently deleted because they do not have “.trash”. Remember to set settings to permanently delete under preferences/settings in the app for these drives.
Warning: They will be permanently deleted and NOT recoverable.

Duplicate File Cleaner uses a true SHA-1 checksum file compare to ACCURATELY find legitimate duplicates. This basically means that it finds all TRUE duplicate files by looking at the actual HASH value. Renaming a file with a different name doesn’t change this.

If the file contents are altered, then it is no longer a legitimate duplicate and Duplicate File Cleaner will not flag it as a duplicate.

If it is not detecting your images as duplicates, then they are not TRUE duplicates. They were altered. Duplicate File Cleaner only finds all legitimate duplicate files.

You can check your SHA1 and MD5 hash checksums to see if they are true duplicates:

Memory cleaner breaks down your system memory into a more granular view. You will see the exact usage by memory type. (e.g Wired, Compressed, File Cache, App Memory). You will also see which apps are using significant memory.

Click “Optimize” to free up space. You will immediately see the results.

*Tip: Memory cleaner is most efficient when used after closing a memory intensive application you don’t plan on using for a while.

Disk cleaner will first show you your free disk space, used disk space, and total disk space.

Press “Scan” to have the Disk Cleaner algorithm discover what needs to be cleaned.

By default you will notice that the “safe” items are pre-selected for cleaning. This includes Trash, Browser Data, Application Logs, and Application Caches. Possibly more depending on what Disk Clean

Downloads and Large Files will never be automatically selected. You may have important files under your documents folder, so please use caution and check these files to make sure you want to delete them before cleaning. Clicking the “i” info button will give you a detailed description of what each category is that is marked for deletion.

The magnifying glass icon on the right side will show you additional options or take you to the actual folder that the “Downloads” or “Application Logs” are located.

(below example shows your options for “Browser Data”)

Clicking the magnifying glass for “Large Files > 100MB” will show you an organized list of all files on your Mac that are bigger than 100MB. Here you can identify and select the largest files that you might have forgotten about. You can go to the location of these files by clicking the magnifying glass next to them.

Click the “settings” icon to view the rules for scanning for “Large Files”. Here you can filter the search to exclude anything by file extension. You may also adjust the size for the files you are scanning for. (e.g. If you only want to scan for large files greater than 500MB)

Finally click “Clean” when you are ready to clean the selected items on your Mac.

Congratulations. You’ve finished cleaning your disk!

Click the settings icon in the center to choose which browser extensions to also clean. This is required as a lot of harmful adware will tend to hide in disguise as browser extensions. This will not reset your bookmarks and history. You can reinstall your favorite trusted browser extensions again after the clean is complete.

If you still experience Adware symptoms, please check the support options on the right side. We have documentation, tips, and also a convenient email button to contact support. You will be answered within 24 hours.

Congratulations! You’re adware has now been cleaned. Please also check out tips on how to prevent more adware in the future. 

Disk Map Analyzer

Drag and drop your folder or disk to map your drive.

At the highest tier (centermost) you will see the different folders/files. As you move to the outermost layers, you will be traversing down to the lowest tier. Click the very center to navigate back up to the highest tier.

You can hover your mouse over the sunburst map to reveal the file/folder information on the right side. You can also navigate over the file/folder on the right side and you will see that part of the sunburst map highlighted on the left sunburst map. Clicking any part of the sunburst will navigate to that file or folder. Our goal was to create a beautiful and intuitive interface that felt familiar.

The right side toolbar will feel very familiar because it mimics the utility of your native OSX Finder. Just like Finder, you can select a file and preview it by pressing “spacebar”. You can also right click any file/folder to reveal it in Finder. You’ll also notice the top of the window shows the file-path that you are currently in, which you can click around to navigate.

Anything is selectable to move to the trash queue. You can either right click and select “Move to Trash Queue” or you can drag & drop it to the trash queue below.

You’ll see the “Trash Queue” with the blinking animation when you drag & drop a file over the correct area.

The trash queue will then populate and update the size of the total files in the trash queue.

Clicking the down arrow in the trash queue will expand it’s contents to see every file/folder that has been added.

Once you have added all the files/folders for deletion, click “Delete” from the trash queue.

Congratulations, you have just successfully learned more about your hard disk. Not only have you navigated it flawlessly, you have found files to clean up your disk.

Duplicate File Finder

Duplicate File Cleaner uses a true SHA-1 checksum file compare to ACCURATELY find legitimate duplicates. This means that it finds all duplicate files by looking at the actual HASH value. So if the contents of the file are changed in anyway, then it is no longer a legitimate duplicate since the hash values are different. Renaming a file does not change the file contents, so Duplicate File Cleaner will still find all duplicates even if they are named differently.

Getting started is easy and painless. Just drag & drop any folder to find all your duplicates.

You can also set the scanning “rules” by clicking the settings icon on the top left. For example you might only care about duplicates that are larger than 10MB and want to exclude all mp3 duplicates.

Once scanned, you will see your results.

You will have the option to sort your duplicates by file name, size, path, or even use the search box to search by typing in the name. The duplicate files and the total number of that file will be shown on the left.

In our example there are a total of 9 files that are the same. 8 are selected for removal as they are all duplicates and we want to keep the 1 original. We’ve clicked the “auto select all” to conveniently mark all the duplicates automatically and save the original version. The preview window on the right is convenient to show a preview of the selected file. Clicking the “eye” icon will open up the file in Finder.

Click “Remove” and confirm on the next screen when ready to remove.

Congrats! You’ve cleaned up even more space by removing your duplicates! 🙂

Application Uninstaller

When applications are installed, there are a lot of moving parts in various directories. These files include application logs, application caches, random plist files, and all sorts of other junk that are left on your Mac when all you do is drag and drop the application icon into the trash. Not everything is removed and all this junk adds up and eats up valuable disk space. DiskZilla’s Application Uninstaller intelligently locates your applications so you can properly uninstall these apps with everything associated with them. This includes all that junk that you no longer need.

Press “Scan” to get started.

Due to Apple’s sandbox restrictions, you will need to press “Proceed” again and then enter your admin/user password to give your Mac permission to delete these files. Unfortunately Apple only allows apps to be removed in this way. There is no way around this.

Congratulations, you have now successfully properly uninstalled your selected apps along with all of their junk files.

After scanning is completed, you will see a list of apps on the right side. Clicking details will show you all the “junk” or application logs, application caches, and/or anything else related to that app that is hiding on other locations of your hard drive.

*Please note that core Apple products cannot be removed due to Apple’s sandboxing restrictions.

Click “Remove” when ready and then you will be taken to the confirmation screen. When you click “Proceed”, you will notice action items in red that require you attention.

File Shredder

Drag and drop files to securely delete them. They will be permanently deleted and unrecoverable.

DiskZilla gives you 3 levels of secure deletion and 1 option for standard/normal deletion (not secure).

◎ Quickly and SECURELY overwrite your threats with 1-pass
◎ Overwrite your threats with United States Department of Defense Method (DoD 5220.22-M) 7-pass government standard
◎ File recovery won’t be an option with the MOST SECURE 35-pass Gutmann method

What is a pass and what’s the difference between 1-pass, 7-pass, and 35-pass?

It’s the number of passes you overwrite your data. In theory, overwriting it once should do the trick to make the data unrecoverable. 7-passes of overwriting data will ensure more security, but take a little longer. 35-passes would be the most secure of all.
