Getting started
How do I open Trove on my Mac?
Click the clipboard icon in the menu bar, or press ⌘⇧V in any app. Choose an item to copy it, then press ⌘V. To paste in one step, turn on Settings → General → "Paste directly into the active app" and allow Accessibility access when asked.
How do I save things on iPhone or iPad?
iOS doesn't let apps read the clipboard in the background. Open Trove and tap the Paste button, or use Share → Trove, the Trove keyboard's "Save Clipboard" button, or the "Save to Trove" Shortcut. Anything you copy on your Mac shows up automatically.
How do I turn on the Trove keyboard?
Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Trove. To see your history in the keyboard, tap Trove in that list and turn on Allow Full Access. Without it, the keyboard still works but can't show your history.
Can I stop Trove recording certain apps?
Yes. On Mac, go to Settings → Privacy → Add App. Items that password managers mark as private are never recorded.
Sync
My history isn't showing up on another device
Make sure each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple Account, and that Settings → Sync shows the same key fingerprint on every device. If a device says it needs pairing, follow the steps below.
A device says "Pair this device"
This happens when a device doesn't have your encryption key yet. On that device, tap Pair Now to show a QR code and a 6-digit code. On a device that already uses Trove, scan the QR code with the Camera app (or copy the pairing link and paste it on your Mac). Check that the codes match, then tap Allow.
Trove says some data was encrypted with a different key
Two devices set up sync before iCloud Keychain had synced, so each created its own key. On the device showing the warning, choose Settings → Sync → Pair With Another Device, and approve it from a device that shows your history correctly.
How do I use my own server?
See Self-hosting.
Your data
How do I back up or move my history?
iCloud sync already backs up your history. You can also go to Settings → History → Export History to save a file, and Import History to bring it back on any device.
How long is history kept?
By default, the latest 1,000 items for up to 3 months. Change it in Settings → History. Pinned items are always kept.
How do I delete my Trove Cloud account?
Settings → Sync → Trove Cloud → Delete Account. Your account and all its encrypted data are removed from our servers immediately.
How do I cancel a Trove Cloud subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on iPhone or iPad, or the App Store → your account → Subscriptions on Mac. Deleting your Trove Cloud account doesn't cancel the subscription, so cancel it there too.
