The problem
Copy, copy, and the first one is gone
Windows only holds a short list of recent copies, and most add-on clipboard tools trade one problem for another.
Gone after a restart
Windows' own Win+V keeps 25 items and forgets them all the moment the PC restarts or updates overnight.
Passwords kept in the clear
Many clipboard tools save everything you copy, passwords and card numbers included, in a plain file anyone can open.
Scrolling to find it
Somewhere in the list is that address you copied on Tuesday. Without real search you scroll, squint and give up.
Screenshots you can't search
A screenshot of an invoice number is just a picture to most tools, so the number inside it can never be found.
Freeware with strings attached
Ad-supported downloads, bundled extras, and paid tiers that renew whether you use them or not.
Cluttered, dated windows
Popular clipboard apps can feel like a settings maze from another decade, just to paste something you copied.
Vow Clipboard fixes all of it.
How it works
Copy. Find. Paste.
Nothing to set up: copy the way you always do, and everything is waiting behind one hotkey.
- 01
Copy as you always do
Ctrl+C, right-click Copy or a Win+Shift+S screenshot. Text, links, formatting, pictures and files are saved the moment you copy them.
Everything you copy lands here, ready to find and paste - 02
Press Ctrl+` anywhere
A search box opens at your text cursor in any program. Type a few letters, or press Ctrl+1 to 9 to pick by number.
...and the Copy, Find and Paste steps with the feature list - 03
Paste, pin or tidy up
Enter pastes with the original formatting, Shift+Enter as plain text. Pin favourites, or open the history to edit and reuse.
Keep favorites and snippets with placeholders like {date}
Features
A clipboard that remembers, finds and tidies up
Quick enough for every copy and paste of the day, private enough for the ones that matter.
Quick paste at your cursor
One hotkey opens a search box where you are typing. Enter pastes into that program and you carry on.
Finds anything you copied
Words, "exact phrases", exclusions, the source app, and even the words inside screenshots, read on your PC.
Pastes back exactly
Bold, links and tables from Word, Excel, Outlook and browsers come back as copied, or as plain text when you prefer.
Keeps secrets out
Honours password managers and private windows, and spots card numbers, keys and generated passwords to hide or delete them.
Encrypted on disk
The history is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with the key protected by your Windows account. It never leaves your PC.
Pins and snippets
Keep favourites forever, with placeholders like {date}, {clipboard} and {cursor} that fill in as you paste.
36 text tools
Change case, clean up spaces, sort lines, encode, format JSON or extract links, with a preview before you use it.
Merge or paste one by one
Select several items to merge them, or queue them and paste each in turn with one hotkey.
Smart details
Clean tracking tags from links, see colours as HEX, RGB and HSL, make a QR code, or show copied files in Explorer.
Backup and merge
Back up your history to a file, restore it, or merge the histories of two PCs. Export to text or CSV too.
Light & dark theme
Easy on the eyes, day or night.
Clipboard comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.
- LightClear and bright for daytime and busy offices
- DarkGentle on tired eyes late at night
- Follow WindowsChanges by itself when your PC does

FAQ
Questions about Clipboard
Is Vow Clipboard really free?
Yes. Free keeps your last 50 copies across restarts, with quick paste, search, formatting, encryption and every privacy feature, plus 5 pins and 25 smart actions a day. There are no ads and no expiring trial. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, keeps your whole history and adds advanced search, unlimited pins and backups.
How is it different from Windows' own clipboard history (Win+V)?
Win+V keeps 25 items until the PC restarts. Vow Clipboard keeps your history across restarts, searches it (including the words inside screenshots), pastes at your text cursor with Ctrl+`, and encrypts everything on disk.
Will it save my passwords?
No. It honours the "don't record" flags that password managers and private browser windows set, and you can add apps to an ignore list. Card numbers, private keys, API keys and generated passwords are detected and, by default, deleted after 5 minutes.
Is my clipboard history uploaded or shared?
Never. The history is stored only on your PC, encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key protected by your Windows account. There is no account and no cloud.
Can it really find text inside a screenshot?
Yes. Screenshots and copied pictures are read with Windows' built-in OCR on your own PC, so you can search for an invoice number or a phrase inside them and copy the text out.
Does it work in every program?
Yes. Ctrl+` works in any program you can type into, including browsers, Office, chat apps and terminals such as PuTTY, where it pastes with Shift+Insert. Every hotkey can be changed in Settings.
Can I move my history to another PC?
With Unlimited you can back up your history to a file and restore it on another PC, or merge two PCs' histories together. You can also export to text or CSV.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. There are no ads, no bundled software and no account, it needs no administrator rights, and it uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
