Clipboard AI works well out of the box, but a few settings make it feel like yours: a different hotkey, what the menu shows, and whether it launches when you log in.
Open Settings
Click the Clipboard AI icon in the menu bar and open Settings.
Set your hotkey, tidy up the menu, and launch at login.
Change the paste hotkey
The picker opens with ⌘⇧V by default. To use a different combination, click the hotkey field in Settings and press the keys you want.
Tidy up the menu
Settings let you show or hide details in the menu and quick picker: item numbers, category icons, timestamps, image thumbnails, your pinned section, and the clear-history button. Turn off what you do not need for a cleaner list.
Launch at login
Turn on launch at login so Clipboard AI is always in your menu bar, ready the moment you sign in.
