History

History Sidebar

The history sidebar shows all previous text captures. It can be opened in two ways:

Push mouse to the right screen edge — the sidebar appears automatically
Menu bar icon → History — via the FreezeText menu

History Entries

Each entry shows a text preview (up to 2 lines) and a relative timestamp (e.g. "2 hours ago"). Hovering reveals the following actions:

Screenshot — shows the captured screen area
Copy — copies the text to the clipboard
Edit — opens the text in the editor
Delete — removes the entry from history

Color Tags

History entries can be tagged with colors for categorization. Available colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple. Color tags can be assigned or removed via the context menu (right-click).

Search History

The sidebar includes a search field for full-text search through your history. The number of matches is displayed next to the search field.

Reorder Entries

History entries can be reordered via drag & drop. Drag an entry to the desired position in the list.

Export History

The entire history can be exported as JSON or CSV. Export functions are available in settings under History.

Auto-Delete

History can be cleaned up automatically. In settings under History you can configure:

Maximum entries: 10 to 100 (default: 50)
Auto-delete after: 7, 14, 30 or 90 days — or never
