### Capture: keep an image or a thought

![Gather’s Capture panel with a copied image, the note “Oak, linen, and a little forest green.”, the Quiet studio collection and the Add button](<https://getgatherapp.com/assets/gather-capture-living-image-light.png?v=20261101-build66>)

Keep the image and the thought together.

New in 0.1.62  Gather Clipboard

### Your next copy. _And the one before._

A useful line. A link you just lost. The image you copied three things ago. Turn on Gather Clipboard and keep them within reach.

Off by default. History stays on your Mac.

#### Find the one you meant.

Search your history, filter by type, and pin the copies you reach for again. Copy plain text when you want a clean start.

#### Keep it on your terms.

Pause whenever you like. Choose your history length and capacity, exclude apps, or clear older clips. Save a useful clip to a collection when it deserves a home.

The real Mac app

#### A quick flyout. Your full history.

Use the shortcut for the moment. Open Clipboard in the sidebar to browse your history, preview an item, and keep things in order.

Capture · Choose what becomes a collection

### Turn your clipboard into a collection.

A passage you’ll quote again. A link for later. An image that sparks an idea. Keep them alongside your notes and files.

1.  **Copy as you go.**

    Turn on clipboard offers. Copy text, a link, or an image to bring up Gather’s bubble.

2.  **Choose what stays.**

    Review your copy, pick a collection, and add a thought. Nothing is added to a collection until you choose Add.

3.  **Keep it within reach.**

    Your saved snippets, links, and images stay in your library, ready to find with Recall.

From a copy to a collection

### The whole thought. In one place.

Put copied text beside the link it came from, a screenshot, or your own notes. Collections and folders bring the pieces together.

Saved for a reason

### Find it. _Put it to work._

Open Recall with your chosen shortcut. Pick a recent item or search across collections, then copy, open, or drag it into another app.

That useful passage. The link you saved yesterday. The image for your next draft.

Yours to keep

### Your collection. _Your Mac._

Sign in to Gather while your library stays on your Mac. You choose what goes in a collection and whether Clipboard keeps a history. Export your collections with their notes and original files whenever you like.
