Clipboard history, done properly.
Still find the last dozen things you copied.
Klackey’s clipboard history keeps a running, searchable record of what you copy, not just whatever happens to be on the clipboard right now. Copy over it as many times as you like; what came before is still there to search, and to paste again.

Built-in history only goes so far.
Windows and newer versions of macOS include built-in clipboard history, but their capabilities and limits vary. Klackey keeps up to 2,000 searchable entries and adds filters, sorting, on-device OCR that reaches into copied images, and permanent organized clippings, on top of whatever your OS already offers.
From copy to restoreWhat you copy, kept.
What you copy, kept.
Any of it, found again.
Klackey watches the clipboard in the background and records what lands on it, automatically, without you doing anything differently. Search for it later, and paste it right back in.
1. You copy, and copy again
Copied: order #4471
Copied: tracking link
Copied: alice@example.com
Each one saved, not just the last.
2. Search your history
Search:
4471Full text, not just the start of the entry.
3. Restore it
Pasted: order #4471
Straight into the field you were using.
Copying six more things afterward doesn’t push order #4471 out of reach. It’s still in history, still searchable, until it ages past your last 2,000 entries.

A short walkthrough of copying several things in a row and pulling any of them back.
More than a running listFilterable, sortable,
Filterable, sortable,
and easy to search on purpose.
Filter and sort
Narrow history to a date range, or images only, then sort newest or oldest first, right from the toolbar.
Duplicate removal
Turn on duplicate removal in Settings, and copying something already in history keeps just the latest copy, not both.
Save as a clipping
Found something worth keeping for good? Save it as a permanent clipping and give it an abbreviation.
Secure Folder stays separate
Passwords and other sensitive text can skip regular history entirely and live in the encrypted Secure Folder instead.
OCR reaches into images
Text inside a copied screenshot or image is recognized on-device, so searching history can find it too.

Same on Windows and Mac.
Clipboard history works the same way on both platforms, captured and searched the same, just with the native look of whichever OS you’re on.

A support call touching five systems
In one ten-minute call, a support agent copies an order number from the CRM, an email address from a ticket, and a tracking link from the shipping tool. Six more copies happen after that. Any of the first three is still one search away.
Comparing options across tabs
Copy a price and a model number from one product listing, then another, then a third, while comparing them side by side. Instead of keeping every tab open just in case, history holds all three copies until you're ready to decide.
Debugging across three apps
An error message from the terminal, a stack trace from the browser console, a config value from a text editor: three copies in three minutes, each one overwriting the last on the OS clipboard. Klackey kept all three.
Where it’s storedLocal by default.
Local by default.
Nothing copied leaves your computer.
Clipboard history lives in Klackey’s local database on your own computer. It isn’t uploaded to Klackey’s servers or synced to the cloud, and no account is required to use it. If something you copy is sensitive, like a password or a recovery code, it belongs in the encrypted Secure Folder instead of regular history, which keeps it out of search and previews entirely.
Questions, answered
Good to know.
What is clipboard history and how does it work?+
Clipboard history is a running, searchable record of what you've copied, not just whatever's on the clipboard right now. Windows and newer versions of macOS include built-in clipboard history, but their capabilities and limits vary. Klackey keeps up to 2,000 searchable entries and adds filters, sorting, on-device OCR, and permanent organized clippings, on top of whatever your OS already offers.
How far back does Klackey's clipboard history go?+
Up to 2,000 recent entries, including up to 50 images, stored locally and fully searchable. You can filter history to a date range like today, this week, or this year, switch to images only, and sort newest or oldest first.
Can I restore something I copied several items ago?+
Yes. As long as it's still within your last 2,000 entries, search for a word or phrase you remember, then paste it directly into whatever field you're working in, either from Klackey's main window or the global quick-paste shortcut.
Does clipboard history capture images, not just text?+
Yes. Klackey records supported clipboard images alongside text, up to 50 recent images, and on-device OCR makes the text inside those images searchable too.
Is my clipboard history uploaded anywhere?+
No. Clipboard history is stored locally in Klackey's own database on your computer. It isn't uploaded to Klackey's servers or synced to the cloud, and no account is required to use it.
Is clipboard history included in my backups?+
Not by default. Klackey's automatic local backups always include your clippings, folders, and notes; the rolling clipboard history log is left out unless you turn on Settings, Backups, "Include clipboard history in backups" (off by default, since history is meant to be a fast-changing record, not a permanent archive). Turn it on and every future backup includes it too, merged back in on restore instead of duplicated. Either way, if there's something in your history worth keeping for certain, save it as a clipping and it'll be organized, searchable, and included in every backup regardless.
