Description:
macOS Tahoe 26 finally adds Clipboard History  and could mean I never use 
Windows 11 again.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

At WWDC 2025 , Apple showed off its upcoming macOS Tahoe 26 operating system 
for Macs, and amongst all the AI fluff and shiny new Liquid Glass design 
language , there was a relatively small addition that could have a big impact 
(for me, anyway): Clipboard History. 

Now, Im very lucky that in my line of work I get to try out not only the best 
laptops in the world, but also the best MacBooks , and while I generally love 
Apples modern range of desktops and laptops, I always find myself returning 
to Windows 11 for writing because of the excellent Clipboard History feature 
that can be brought up by pressing Windows + V, allowing you to easily browse 
previously copied items, rather than pasting the last thing you copied. 

Since the feature was added to Windows 10 , Ive been relying on it 
constantly, so whenever I use a Mac, the features absence in macOS meant I 
either had to install a third-party app to add the functionality myself, or 
Id just switch back to using a Windows machine, even if that machine was 
otherwise worse than the Mac I was abandoning. Pasting in the spotlight 

The fact that Apple is adding the feature to macOS (as part of a major 
overhaul of its Spotlight app) is very exciting to me, as having it 
integrated properly into the operating system should make it both more 
flexible and convenient. 

Saying Apple stole the idea from Microsoft is probably a bit strong  and I 
doubt Microsoft thought of this feature first  but it definitely feels like 
Apple was inspired by its competition. From what Ive seen, Clipboard History 
in macOS Tahoe does exactly the same thing as the feature in Windows 11, and 
it even has the same name. 

Regardless of who copied (then pasted) whom, if this allows me to work on my 
M4 Mac mini rather than booting into Windows 11 on an aging work laptop, then 
Im going to be very happy  and it could mean my Windows 11 devices will only 
be touched when I want to play a game. 

Ill be looking forward to giving this new feature a go, either in the macOS 
Tahoe 26 public beta , which will launch in July, or when the final version 
is released later this year. You might also like 15 things we learned at the
