// what it does

Everything your clipboard forgets, clipd keeps.

Nine things it does well — nothing it doesn’t need to.

Text & image history

Every copy is saved with thumbnails — scroll back through your whole clipboard, text and images alike.

Instant search & filters

Live search as you type, with All / Text / Images / Pinned filters.

Win+J

Global hotkey

Summons the popup at your cursor, on the right monitor, instantly — from any app.

Pin what matters

Pin snippets you reuse so they never get evicted from history, no matter how much you copy.

Private Vault

PIN- or password-protected, encrypted storage for tokens, keys, and anything sensitive.

Save to file & export ZIP

Save any item into text/ & images/ folders, or export your whole history to a ZIP.

System tray + taskbar

Lives in the tray with a full menu, an optional taskbar button, and auto-start on login.

Light · Dark · Auto

A beautiful frameless UI that matches your system theme — or pin it to whichever you prefer.

Native & fast

Built on the native Win32 clipboard API — no heavy deps, reliable image and screenshot capture.

// the real thing

Screenshots, both ways.

Real shots from the app. Flip between light and dark — it defaults to your current theme.

// three keystrokes from done

Up and running in under a minute.
