Overview

Clipboard History — Never Lose a Copy Again Clipboard History is the fast, private, and beautifully simple way to remember everything you copy. Every link, snippet, address, code block, and image you copy is saved automatically, so the thing you needed five minutes — or five days — ago is always one click away. No more re-copying the same text, no more “where did that go?”, no more lost work. This is the clipboard your browser should have shipped with. Rebuilt for rock-solid reliability We rebuilt Clipboard History from the ground up to be dependable. Your history is stored safely on your own device and is engineered so it never silently drops a copy — even long articles, large code snippets, and rapid back-to-back copies are captured faithfully and stay put. Copy from virtually anywhere: web pages, search boxes, text fields, comment forms, and online code editors are all supported, and copies made inside frames and embedded editors are captured too. If you ever relied on a clipboard manager that “just stopped working,” this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Private by design Your clipboard is personal, and it stays that way. Everything is stored locally on your device — nothing is uploaded to any server, ever. For sensitive data, switch on the optional PIN lock: your entire history is encrypted at rest with strong AES‑GCM encryption and hidden behind a lock screen until you enter your PIN. Clipboard History never stores text from password fields, lets you exclude specific sites (such as your bank or internal tools) so nothing copied there is recorded, and can be paused with a single click whenever you want a moment of privacy. You decide what is remembered and what is forgotten. A modern, delightful interface The all‑new design is clean, quick, and a genuine pleasure to use. A streamlined popup puts search front and center, with your pinned items and most recent clips neatly grouped under clear “Pinned” and “Recent” headings. Choose a Light, Dark, or System theme, pick an accent color to match your style — Blue, Violet, Emerald, or Graphite — and set the list density to Compact, Comfortable, or Rich. Every clip is shown with a smart type icon: links, code, email addresses, color swatches, and image thumbnails are all recognized automatically, alongside a friendly “time ago” label so you always know exactly what each item is and when you copied it. Find anything, instantly Search your entire history as you type and watch results narrow in real time. Filter to just your pinned items, or jump to a single tag with one tap. Pin the clips you reuse constantly — your signature, a wallet address, a frequently pasted command — so they always stay at the top and never scroll away. Click any clip to copy it back to your clipboard instantly, with a clear on‑screen confirmation every time. Power features that save real time • Keyboard shortcuts — open your history or paste your most recent clip without ever touching the mouse. • Right‑click to paste — a “Paste from Clipboard History” menu drops any recent clip straight into the field you’re typing in. • Rich content — copy images, links, and formatted text, not just plain text, and paste them back with full formatting; or turn on “always paste as plain text” to strip formatting whenever you prefer clean output. • Color‑coded tags — organize clips into your own categories and filter by them in a single tap. • Bulk actions — select multiple clips and delete them together, or clear your whole history at once. Your data, your control Export your complete history to a JSON file for safekeeping, and import it back at any time — perfect for backups or moving between computers. Decide how many items to keep, from a tidy 50 up to virtually unlimited, and set history to auto‑clear after a day, a week, or a month so old clips never pile up. Skip duplicates so re‑copying the same text simply moves it to the top instead of cluttering your list. Everything is configurable from a clean, organized settings page. Built for everyone, everywhere Clipboard History speaks your language — fully translated into more than 40 languages, with right‑to‑left support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. It’s built with accessibility in mind, including full keyboard navigation, focus indicators, and screen‑reader labels throughout. Lightweight and respectful The extension is lean and fast, asks only for the permissions it genuinely needs, and keeps your data on your machine. No accounts, no tracking, no nonsense. Everything you copy — organized, searchable, encrypted if you want it, and completely private. Install Clipboard History today and never lose an important copy again.
