PasteNow provides advanced clipboard monitoring capabilities that allow you to customize how the application tracks your clipboard activity. In this guide, we’ll cover two essential features: Stop Monitoring Clipboard and Clipboard Monitoring Interval. These features give you control over how and when PasteNow monitors your clipboard, enabling you to optimize performance and privacy.

Stop Monitoring Clipboard

Scenario:

1. When you are copying sensitive information: If you are copying passwords, personal information, or other sensitive data, you might want to stop monitoring temporarily to ensure these items are not saved in your clipboard history.
2. When performing system-intensive tasks: If you are running applications that require high system performance, stopping clipboard monitoring can free up system resources.

How to Use:

1. Click Setting button: Click on the PasteNow setting icon at the top.
2. Select Stop Monitoring Clipboard: Click on “Stop Monitoring Clipboard” to temporarily stop the clipboard monitoring.

Clipboard Monitoring Interval

The Clipboard Monitoring Interval feature allows you to set the frequency at which PasteNow checks your clipboard for new items. This feature is essential for PasteNow’s basic mechanism to detect clipboard changes. If you copy items too quickly, they might not be saved to PasteNow, and adjusting the intervals can help mitigate this issue.

You can choose from three different intervals:

• Very Frequent (0.1 Second): Checks the clipboard every 0.1 seconds.
• Frequent (0.5 Second, default): Checks the clipboard every 0.5 seconds.
• Normal (1 Second): Checks the clipboard every 1 second.

For most users, 0.5 seconds is a moderate frequency. You can also choose a faster or slower option for performance reasons or based on your operational habits.

Conclusion

The clipboard monitoring features in PasteNow, including Stop Monitoring Clipboard and Clipboard Monitoring Interval, provide users with flexible and powerful tools to manage their clipboard activity. By understanding and utilizing these features, you can optimize PasteNow for your specific needs, balancing performance, responsiveness, and privacy.
