Is there any way at all to access the history of the copy and paste clip tray?

Android Central Question

Okay, I will try to explain this as best as I can. Basically, I am a very creative and unorganized person at the moment, and I tend to bury myself with my ideas and notes.

I write down A LOT of stuff, and when I don't have access to pen and paper, I have to find ways to write things on my phone. I sometimes used google chrome tabs (I have over 1000 open), and I also used google docs, but since my phone's storage is so depleted lately, google chrome and google docs have been rather buggy.

This lead me to rely on my phone's clip tray in certain spurs on the moment. The clip tray is basically an area of storage that keeps about 18 things that you copy (by long pressing and highlighting).

Well, I accidentally saved a couple things too much, and since you can only have 18 things at a time, I lost some things.

Is there any apps or anything you can recommend to go back in the clip tray a little bit?

It would GREATLY help if I could retrieve those notes/ideas. Whenever I lose things, even little things, it hurts my soul and festers within my mind.

Creating things is my purpose, and losing the material I need to create, is the bane of my existence.

Thank you.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, the standard Android clipboard is very volatile, and is only designed to remember one thing at a time. Some phones have a more enhanced clipboard -- which phone do you have?

You actually have 1000 Chrome tabs open at the same time? I didn't realize it could go much beyond 40-50. The more tabs you have open, the more RAM Chrome uses. That might be why things are buggy on your device. See what happens if you limit the number of open tabs to 10-20.
 
Just for future reference, the clipboard is a very wrong place to be storing anything you consider important.

You need to solve the storage space problem so that the correct apps can properly save your important data.

If your phone accepts an SD card, the first thing to do is to get a large one and move all your media files to it. (Pictures, music, videos, documents, etc)
