How to clear the clipboard automatically a few minutes after copying

Use KeyRoutines' Clipboard changed trigger, then Cancel routine on the routine itself so only the newest copy's timer counts, a Delay of two minutes, and Set clipboard with nothing to empty it.

Steps

1. 1

   React to copies

   Add Clipboard changed, set to text, or to anything.

2. 2

   Restart the timer on each copy

   Add Cancel routine and pick this same routine; it stops the older runs, not this one.

3. 3

   Wait

   Add a Delay of 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Empty the clipboard

   Add Set clipboard with the content set to nothing.

Tips

• This empties the current clipboard; entries already saved in Win+V clipboard history stay there until you clear them.
• Copies that a password manager marks as private don't fire the trigger; those apps usually clear their own copies.
