What ClipSafe is

ClipSafe is a free Windows clipboard manager that saves clipboard history locally and makes it searchable. It supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 and is distributed through the Microsoft Store. Saved entries can include text with source tracking, files and file paths, images with metadata, audio clips, animated GIFs, and link previews. Search can cover clipboard content, source applications, and tags. Global Ctrl+Shift+1–9 shortcuts open the last nine items while the app runs in the background. Users can set history limits, pause or resume tracking, and optionally enable startup with Windows. Text, images, and files can be pinned to survive history clearing, while custom colored tags organize items. A VS Code extension sends code snippets to ClipSafe and tags them with language and workspace. The maker says clipboard data stays on the device rather than being uploaded or shared. Its privacy policy says copied text is stored in an encrypted local database and that analytics and usage data are not collected. ClipSafe says it has no internet access during normal operation; a maker blog page says it fetches link previews using copied URLs.
