Everything your clipboard should already do

Unlimited history, tags, in-place editing and sync across both machines. Set the hotkey once, then stop thinking about it.

Unlimited clipboard history

Never lose a copied item again. Cliptray keeps every clip for as long as you want it, so you can scroll back to this morning or to last March.

Instant search

Start typing and Cliptray filters everything you have ever copied, ranked by how recently you used it.

Pin important items

Keep the snippets you reach for daily parked at the top of the tray.

Organise with tags

Categorise clips by project or client so the right set is one keystroke away.

Editable clipboard

Tweak text inside the tray before you paste it. No detour through a scratch file.

Shortcut keys

Fully customisable hotkeys. The tray opens where your hands already are.

Cross-platform sync

Copy on the Windows machine at your desk, paste on the Mac in the meeting room. Encrypted in transit, same clipboard on both.

A closer look at the tray

One keystroke opens Cliptray over whatever you are working in. Here is the whole window, from the full history to the rules that govern it.

Your whole history

The tray opens on everything you have copied, newest first. Nothing is dropped after the twenty-fifth item.

Search as you type

Start typing and the list narrows to matching clips, across everything you have ever copied.

Filter by tag

Tag clips by project or client, then pull up just that set and copy straight from the row.

Your data, your rules

Choose what is kept and for how long, hold on to anything tagged, or clear the local store outright.

Why the built-in clipboard runs out

Windows caps history at 25 items and Mac OS keeps exactly one. Here is the rest of it, side by side.

What it changes in a working day

Mac users without clipboard history, mixed Windows and Mac desks, and people who wanted sync without another subscription.

Mac OS gives you one undo on the clipboard. I was losing links and snippets ten times a day. Cliptray is part of my daily routine now.

Windows for client builds, MacBook for everything else. Sync is flawless. Copy on one machine, paste on the other within seconds.

I compared Paste and a few subscription tools. Cliptray does what I need for a one-time price and saves me time every single day.
