What ClipX is

ClipX is a Windows clipboard history manager that keeps copied items available to paste again. It records formatted text, images, files, and application-specific clipboard formats, and can restore clips with their formatting. Search and snippets help users find stored items. ClipX can detect sensitive content such as passwords, credit card numbers, and API keys and exclude it from history. History remains on the computer rather than uploading to the cloud, and it can be kept in memory only. Users can configure automatic removal of older entries or clear history when the computer locks or restarts. Optional plugins add features including screen snipping, richer previews, saving clips to disk, and sharing with trusted computers without a cloud service. A separate MCP plugin lets local AI assistants find and add clips under user-controlled capabilities. ClipX 2.0 requires no account and has no ads or tracking, according to its maker. It is free for personal or commercial use on any number of computers. Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7 installers are listed in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
