The frustration was specific, copying something, switching apps, losing it to the next copy. Every developer and writer has muscle memory around ⌘Z, but there's no equivalent for the clipboard, no history, no context, no way to reconstruct what you were looking at twenty minutes ago. Existing clipboard managers solve the "history" part. None of them solve the "context" part. You get a list of raw strings with timestamps. That's not memory, that's a log file. The clipboard is the most-used invisible tool on a computer. People copy hundreds of things a day and retrieve almost none of them because retrieval is too slow and too exact you have to remember what you copied, not what it meant. The goal was to make past copies searchable the way memory works: by meaning, by association, by "I was in a Zoom call when I copied that" or "it was something about database migrations." The search query shouldn't have to match the content exactly. This is how Recall was born, the clipboard you can ask questions to.
