Set up SwiftClip When you first open SwiftClip, you can choose one of two options: • Create New Start fresh with a new encrypted vault. SwiftClip automatically generates a unique Master Key for your vault. IMPORTANT: Save your Master Key somewhere safe. It is required to recover your encrypted data, and SwiftClip cannot recover a lost Master Key for you. Keep your Master Key somewhere safe and preferably separate from your encrypted backup. • Restore Existing Data Already have a SwiftClip backup? Select your previously exported encrypted JSON backup and enter the Master Key associated with that vault. SwiftClip uses the Master Key to decrypt the backup and restore your saved data. 2. Create a snippet Open SwiftClip and click "+ New". Give your snippet a name, choose a shortcut, and enter the text you want to reuse. For example: Name: Email Shortcut: ;email Content: yourname@example.com Save the snippet and it is ready to use. 3. Start typing a shortcut Place the cursor in a supported text field and start with ";". For example: ;em As you type, SwiftClip searches your saved shortcuts in real time and displays matching snippets. You don't need to remember the entire shortcut. Start typing what you remember and SwiftClip helps you find the right snippet. 4. Choose and insert When matching snippets appear: • ↑ / ↓ — move between suggestions • Tab — insert the selected snippet • Esc — close the suggestions Press Tab and SwiftClip replaces the shortcut with the selected snippet directly where you're typing. 5. Search and manage your snippets Open SwiftClip to browse everything you've saved. Search by snippet name, shortcut, or content to quickly locate what you need. Press Alt + K inside SwiftClip to jump directly to search. From the SwiftClip panel, you can: • Create snippets • Preview snippets • Edit and update snippets • Delete snippets • Search your saved snippets 6. Protect your vault Every SwiftClip vault is protected by its own Master Key. For additional protection, you can enable an optional 6-digit Master PIN. Once Master PIN protection is enabled, you can lock SwiftClip when you are not using it and unlock it again with your PIN. The Master PIN is designed for convenient everyday access. Your Master Key remains the recovery key for your encrypted vault, so keep it somewhere safe even when you use a Master PIN. 7. Export your data Choose "Export Backup" from the SwiftClip menu to create a portable encrypted JSON backup of your vault. Your Master Key and Master PIN are not included in the exported backup. This means that possessing the backup file alone is not enough to restore its contents. Keep your encrypted backup and Master Key somewhere safe, preferably separately. 8.
