About Clipdiary

Clipdiary watches the Windows clipboard and saves each item to a history database, so text you copied an hour or even years ago can still be found and pasted. Clips can be starred and sorted with labels, and snippets hold text you paste often.

Data stays on your computer with no server or cloud involved, and the database can be encrypted with AES-256 behind a password. An installer and a portable version are offered. It suits Windows users who want a long-term record of what they copied.

Strengths

  • Keeps clipboard history across restarts for years
  • Labels, starred clips and text snippets
  • Local storage with optional AES-256 database encryption
  • Portable version available

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Closed source
