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.
Change the paste hotkey
The floating menu opens with ⌘⇧V by default. To use a different combination, click the hotkey field in Settings and press the keys you want.
Always paste as plain text
Under Behaviour on the General tab there is a switch called Always paste as plain text. Turn it on and every clip you paste from Clipboard AI arrives with fonts, colours, and links stripped out, so pasted text always looks like the document you are pasting into. Hold ⌥ when you pick a clip to keep the formatting for that one paste.
The full guide, including the one-off Option trick and what plain text actually strips, is in Paste without formatting on Mac.
Tidy up the menu
Settings let you show or hide details in the menu bar and the floating menu: 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.
