Klackey keeps Secure Folder content encrypted at rest, excludes it from normal search and clipboard history, and protects sensitive pastes from Windows Clipboard History and cloud clipboard synchronization.
How Secure Folders protect your content+
- Secure content is encrypted at rest using protection tied to your Windows or macOS account.
- Content and sensitive metadata (names, tags, and abbreviations) stay hidden from ordinary Klackey search, previews, quick paste, and abbreviation lists.
- A secure value is decrypted only when you deliberately reveal or insert it.
- Secure expansion does not add the value to Klackey’s clipboard history.
- The previous clipboard contents are restored after insertion, including when a paste fails.
- On Windows, Clipboard History and Cloud Clipboard sync are instructed not to retain secure pastes.
- An optional backup password lets Secure Folder content be recovered on a replacement computer or after a reinstall.
- An optional PIN can require confirmation before a Secure Folder abbreviation expands, with automatic re-locking after a few minutes or when your computer locks.
- Klackey does not send Secure Folder content to Klackey servers.

Illustrative example based on 250 working days per year. Actual savings depend on usage.
| Klackey License | Typical subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular price | $49 once | $3–$5/month |
| After 3 years | $49 | $108–$180 |
| After 5 years | $49 | $180–$300 |
| Stop paying | Klackey keeps working | Access may end |
One purchase includes one year of updates. After that, keep using your version forever, or optionally add another year of updates for currently $19.
Five years with every optional update renewal: $125 at the regular price, or just $111 for founding buyers — assumes the $19 renewal price stays the same across all four years.
Compared with $180 to $300 for a typical subscription.
Comparison uses Klackey’s regular $49 price and publicly listed US prices for text expansion, snippet management, and clipboard manager tools as of August 2026. Features and prices vary.

Good to know.
How does the free trial work?+
Install Klackey and use every feature free for 14 days. No credit card, account, or commitment is required.
What happens when my trial ends?+
Nothing is deleted. You can still open Klackey and browse, search, and export everything you've created. Editing and background features (clipboard capture, text expansion, quick-paste) pause until you activate a license, and pick up right where you left off once you do.
Is Klackey a text expander or a clipboard manager?+
Both. Klackey combines a text expander, clipboard manager, and snippet library in one app, so you don't need to run separate tools for typing shortcuts and clipboard history.
Where is my data stored?+
On your computer. Klackey is local by design, so your clippings and notes are not uploaded to our cloud. Secure Folders add a protected place for sensitive clippings.
Does Klackey replace my password manager?+
Klackey's Secure Folder protects sensitive reusable text and lets you insert it using abbreviations without displaying the stored value. It's especially useful for long passwords and credentials that might otherwise be kept in documents or spreadsheets. Klackey is not a full password manager and does not provide features such as website matching, breach monitoring, or shared vault administration.
Can I use Klackey offline?+
Yes. Klackey works offline because your data and the app live on your computer.
Can I import Firefox Clippings?+
Yes. Bring your Firefox Clippings library into Klackey so the phrases you rely on can work outside your browser, too.
How many computers can I use?+
A Klackey Pro license includes activation on up to two personal computers for one person.
Does my license work on Windows and macOS?+
Yes. Klackey licenses are not tied to one operating system. You can activate Klackey on up to two supported personal computers, whether they run Windows or macOS. Both versions are available now.
How do updates work?+
Your purchase includes 12 months of updates (the Update Period). Klackey keeps working after that either way. Renewing just adds another 12 months of new updates.
Does Klackey use AI?+
The Klackey app itself does not use AI—your clippings and content stay on your computer and are never sent to an AI service. The optional Klackey Support Assistant on this website uses Claude to answer product questions from Klackey's documentation.
Where can I find the user manual?+
The complete Klackey Manual is at klackey.com/manual, organized by what you're trying to do rather than just by feature. On this support page, there's also a direct link right below the chat assistant.
How is my license activated?+
After purchase, you’ll receive a license key by email. Enter it in Klackey to activate Pro.
Why the name Klackey?+
Klackey brings together the familiar clack of a keyboard and the key at the center of your workflow. It’s a name for software built around real typing, useful shortcuts, and the tools you reach for all day.
Need licenses for a team?+
Email Support@Klackey.com for business/team licensing. A business needs a separate license per person under our standard terms, but we're happy to discuss options.
