twinpeaks Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So I am trying to search the clipboard history of alfred by date. I remember copying something on a certain day and can pull that up but can't pull up things I copied around that date and time. Any help? I tried opening the database with bbedit and was pretty jumbled. If this is possible and answered please forgive the duplicate but if not, any help would be much appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment

This isn't possible but items are ordered chronologically with newest first. If you can remember any text which would have been in the clipping, you could search for that and scroll down and look at the dates to the bottom right of the viewer. Link to comment
FredM Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello! Items are ordered chronologically with newest first, but only 60 items are displayed. Can we display more items? PS : My History can store items during 3 month, and search history works very well, but I need to reach something by date and I can't remember a part of the string. Link to comment
FredM Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Maybe, can I read directly this file? ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Databases/clipboard.alfdb But with witch command line or software? Link to comment

I've been able to view it in VS Code and it does a decent job of parsing it. Link to comment
deanishe Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's an SQLite3 database, as are all .alfdb files. You can open the file with DB Browser for SQLite, amongst other apps. Link to comment
