What Ditto is

Ditto is a free clipboard history utility for Windows. It saves copied items in a SQLite database so you can search for and paste them later. The saved formats include text, images, HTML, and custom clipboard formats, and copied images can appear as thumbnails in the entry list. Ditto can synchronize clipboards across multiple computers; data sent over the network is encrypted. Open it from the system tray or use the global hot key, which defaults to Ctrl + back-quote. The project lists full Unicode support and UTF-8 support for language files. The maker describes Ditto as requiring no login and using no cloud or telemetry. It offers clipboard history search, cross-device sync, snippets, and rich text support.
