Clipaste

Clipaste records every item you copy—text, URLs, images, and files—and stores them locally in an encrypted history that can be searched quickly. The manager runs silently in the background, allowing you to retrieve past clipboard entries on demand without overwriting the current contents. It supports drag‑and‑drop, bookmarking of frequently used snippets, and a fast, keyword‑based search interface.

The application targets users who regularly work with repetitive copy‑paste tasks, such as developers, designers, and writers, offering a way to organize and reuse snippets across different applications. Its privacy‑first design means no analytics, no user accounts, and no cloud sync; all data remains on the device and is protected with AES‑256 encryption managed by the operating system’s keychain.

Clipaste is available for macOS 11+ and Windows 10+ (64‑bit), can be installed via direct download or Homebrew on macOS, and is distributed as free, ad‑free software with no subscription requirements.
