Features

Everything you copy, instantly within reach

ClipSnip quietly captures your clipboard, encrypts it on your machine, and makes every snip searchable in milliseconds.

ClipSnip search bar with All, Text, Images and Emojis category filters and live item counts

Find anything you've copied, instantly

FTS5 full-text search runs across your entire history the moment you type — and one-click filters jump you straight to Text, Images, or Emojis, each with a live count.

  • Search by keyword, app, date, or content type
  • Stays instant even with 10,000+ clips
  • Navigate with the keyboard, paste with Enter

Your data stays on your machine

Every clip is encrypted with AES-256 (SQLCipher) the instant it's captured — the same encryption 1Password and Signal use. No cloud sync. No telemetry. No account. And secrets like sk_live_••••4ad9 are auto-masked before they're ever shown.

  • AES-256 encryption at rest, key in Windows Credential Manager
  • Auto-masks cards, SSNs, API keys & private keys
  • Exclude password managers from monitoring entirely
ClipSnip's built-in full-size image viewer previewing an image with the clipboard launcher docked alongside, image thumbnails in the list

Every format, organized for you

Text, code, links, images and emojis are all captured automatically — images even get thumbnails — and every clip remembers the app it came from, so your history stays organized without any effort.

  • Image thumbnails with a built-in full-size viewer
  • Pin the clips you reach for most to the top
  • Smart de-duplication keeps history clean
ClipSnip in compact mode — a dense, narrow list showing more clips at once
Ctrl+ Shift+ V opens it Ctrl+ K toggles compact

Built for the keyboard — full size or compact

Press Ctrl+Shift+V to summon ClipSnip over any window, search, and paste without breaking flow. Hit Ctrl+K for compact mode when you want to see more clips in less space.

  • Global hotkey works over any application (fully customizable)
  • Shortcuts for navigate, paste, pin, delete & more
  • 13 themes and adjustable window transparency
ClipSnip settings — launch on startup, theme set to Midnight, window transparency slider, keep-window-open toggle and a maximum clips-in-history limit

Set it up exactly how you like

ClipSnip bends to your machine and your habits. Pick from 13 Fluent themes, dial window transparency to match your desktop, and decide how it behaves — right down to how much history it keeps.

  • 13 themes & adjustable window transparency
  • Launch on startup, keep-open-after-paste, history cap
  • Remap the global hotkey to whatever you want
13 built-in themes

Light, dark, system, and ten accent themes — all built on Windows Fluent design with Mica and acrylic.

Pin what matters

Keep frequent snippets, templates and commands pinned to the top — visible through any filter or search.

Free auto-updates

Delta updates download silently in the background and apply on your schedule — every release, free forever.

Excludes password managers

Skip monitoring for 1Password, Bitwarden, KeePass and any apps you choose, so secrets never get captured.

Lives in your tray

Runs quietly from the system tray with near-zero idle CPU — always ready, never in the way.

Zero dependencies

~50–100 MB of RAM, everything bundled in one installer, and no admin rights required to install.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

No setup, no accounts. Install it and ClipSnip starts working the moment you copy.

01

Copy anything

Text, images, code, links — ClipSnip captures everything you copy and encrypts it locally, automatically.

02

Search instantly

Press Ctrl+Shift+V and type. Full-text search filters your entire history in milliseconds.

03

Paste & go

Hit Enter on the snip you need and it pastes straight into whatever you were doing.

FAQ

Questions, answered

We distribute ClipSnip exclusively through the Microsoft Store to ensure security and trust. Microsoft's code signing and app validation process guarantees that what you download is authentic and hasn't been tampered with. The Store also provides automatic updates and a trusted payment system. Direct downloads may be offered in the future, but for launch, we're prioritizing the safety and peace of mind that comes with official Store distribution.

There's no time-limited trial, but every purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try ClipSnip risk-free — if it's not for you, email us within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.

ClipSnip is Windows-only for now (Windows 10 and 11). We're considering Mac support based on demand — let us know if you'd want it.

Yes — your license works on up to 3 computers at once. Perfect for a work laptop, home desktop, and a backup or travel PC. When you upgrade machines, just deactivate the old one and activate the new one with the same license key.

Simply sign in with the same Microsoft account on your new computer and download ClipSnip from your Microsoft Store library. Your purchase automatically transfers. If you need to use it on more than 3 devices, you can manage your device list through the Microsoft Store or contact us at support@getclipsnip.com.

Yes. Pay once, use forever. All core features you purchase today are yours permanently, including bug fixes, security updates, and performance improvements. We may offer optional premium add-ons in the future (like AI features or cloud sync), but everything you buy today will always work — no subscriptions, no renewals, no surprises.

Each license is for one person across their own devices (up to 3). If more people want ClipSnip, everyone needs their own license. For household or team bundles, email support@getclipsnip.com about volume pricing.

Locally on your computer, in an AES-256 encrypted SQLite database (SQLCipher). Nothing is ever sent to the cloud, and there are no accounts or servers involved.

Not yet — ClipSnip is local-first by design, so your history lives on each computer rather than syncing through the cloud. Your one license still covers up to 3 computers. If cloud sync ever arrives, it will always be optional and end-to-end encrypted.

Updates download quietly in the background and prompt you to restart when they're ready. Every update is free, forever — that's included in your one-time purchase.

Your ClipSnip license is automatically managed through your Microsoft account. Once you purchase ClipSnip from the Microsoft Store, you can install it on up to 3 Windows devices signed in with the same Microsoft account. No license keys to manage — it just works. Your purchase history is always available in your Microsoft Store library.

All purchases through the Microsoft Store are covered by Microsoft's refund policy. You can request a refund directly from Microsoft within their standard refund window. If you have any issues, you can also contact us at support@getclipsnip.com and we'll help facilitate the process.

Absolutely. Each person needs their own license. For 5+ seats, email support@getclipsnip.com for volume pricing.

Possibly. We may offer optional add-ons like AI-powered features or cloud sync in the future. But here's our promise: everything you buy today works forever. We'll never remove features or put existing functionality behind a paywall. Your $29 purchase is complete — any future add-ons are 100% optional.
