How to setup MaClipHistory to run in background

Here I am gonna show you how to turn on and off background mode in MaClipHistory

Why background mode?

As a busy user you may prefer to have clipboard manager always available but not taking space in Dock. Background mode allows you to keep MaClipHistory running discreetly while still being easily accessible and tracking your clipboard history.

Navigate to MaClipHistory menu

On the top near  Apple logo press macliphistory and check Background Mode option. The app will be hidden from Dock.

How to get MaclipHistory back

When it's in background mode, you still can reach it easily with ⌘ Command + Shift + V or navigate to tray menu icon:
