Stop losing things you copiedWindows Clipboard History
Windows Clipboard History
wasn’t built to be a library.
Windows Clipboard History (Win+V) is a useful 25-item recent-history tool: you can pin entries to keep them past a restart, and optionally sync clipboard text across your devices through a Microsoft account. But it isn’t designed to become an organized, permanent working library. Klackey is: up to 2,000 locally stored history entries, permanent clippings, folders, full-text search, filters, OCR, abbreviations, Dynamic Snippets, notes, and Quick Paste.
| Windows Clipboard History | Klackey | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding entries | Recent 25-item panel | Full-text search across stored entries |
| Images | Stores supported bitmap items | Stores supported images and offers on-device OCR |
| Reusable text | Pin individual entries | Organized clippings with abbreviations |
| Changing fields | Recent clipboard workflow | Dynamic Snippets with fill-in fields |
| Storage and sync | Local, with optional Microsoft-account text sync | Local only, no account or cloud sync |

What Klackey addsWhat you copy,
What you copy,
organized and reusable.
Permanent clippings
Keep the entries you use often instead of letting them fall out of history.
Folders
Organize clippings the way you organize anything else you come back to.
Global quick paste
Search your library from supported applications with a keyboard shortcut, then paste straight into the field you were just in.
Abbreviations
Turn a clipping into a short trigger, like ;license, that expands into the full text in most everyday Windows applications.
Notes and binders
Keep longer reference material organized and searchable alongside your clippings.
Filter and sort
Narrow history to a date range or images only, then sort newest or oldest first, right from the toolbar.
Remove duplicates
Turn on duplicate removal in Settings, and copying something already in history keeps just the latest copy, not both.
Find it without switching windowsSearch from anywhere.

Paste into the app you’re using.
Open Klackey’s quick-paste search with a global shortcut, find the clipping you need, and paste it directly into the active application. No digging back through old emails, documents, browser tabs, or chats.

Save it as a permanent clipping, give it an abbreviation, and reuse it across supported Windows applications. ;license can expand into a complete, formatted customer response, typed once and used for as long as you need it.

2,000 entries deep.
Still easy to find the one you need.
Klackey keeps your last 2,000 clipboard entries searchable and organized, including up to 50 recent images. Filter history to a date range like today, this week, or this year, switch to images only, and sort newest or oldest first, all from the history toolbar. Turn on duplicate removal in Settings and copying something already in history keeps just the latest copy instead of both.

in regular clipboard history.
Klackey’s encrypted Secure Folder keeps passwords and other sensitive reusable text out of normal clipboard history and search. Content stays masked throughout Klackey until you choose to reveal it, and typing the abbreviation pastes it directly into your destination field without it ever passing through Klackey’s own visible clipboard history, though the destination field itself will of course show whatever you paste into it, the same as any other paste.

Klackey combines clipboard history, quick paste, reusable text and image clippings, text expansion, Dynamic Snippets, notes and binders, Screenshot capture and OCR, local backups, import and export, and the Secure Folder, all in one local Windows app.

Questions, answered
Good to know.
How is Klackey different from Windows 11 Clipboard History?+
Windows Clipboard History (Win+V) keeps up to 25 entries, clears unpinned items on restart, and can optionally sync clipboard text across devices through a Microsoft account. Klackey adds a much larger, locally stored working library: up to 2,000 history entries, permanent organized clippings, full-text search, folders, abbreviation-based text expansion, and a global quick-paste shortcut that works the same way across supported Windows applications.
Does Klackey support images?+
Yes. Klackey records supported clipboard images alongside text, and Screenshot + OCR can capture part of your screen, save it as a clipping, and pull out its text on-device.
How much clipboard history does Klackey keep?+
Up to 2,000 recent entries, including up to 50 images, kept locally and fully searchable. You can filter history to a date range or images only, sort it newest or oldest first, and optionally turn on automatic duplicate removal in Settings.
Is clipboard data uploaded to the cloud?+
No. Klackey stores your clipboard history, clippings, and notes locally on your computer. No account is required to use the app, and sensitive entries can go in the encrypted Secure Folder instead of regular history.
Can I paste without formatting?+
Yes. Klackey clippings are stored as both HTML and plain text, so you can paste rich formatting into apps that support it, or paste clean plain text when you don't want the original formatting.
Does Klackey work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?+
Yes, Klackey runs on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
What happens when the 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 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.
