Features

Everything your clipboard
should have been.

ClipForge runs silently in your system tray — right-click the tray icon anytime to open it. Close the window and it keeps working. Hotkeys work everywhere.

Clipboard History

Automatically saves your last 200 copies. Search, pin favorites, and re-paste anything with one click.

Text Snippets

Type ;em and it expands to your email. Define custom triggers with 17 dynamic variables like {date}, {uuid}, and {random}.

Text Transforms

25 one-click transforms: UPPERCASE, camelCase, Base64, JSON prettify, MD5/SHA-256 hash, Find & Replace, and more.

Plain-Text Paste

Ctrl+Shift+P strips all rich formatting and pastes clean text. No more fighting with Word or browser styles.

Quick Notes

Jot down ideas, paste clipboard content as a note, color-code them, and keep everything saved. Your persistent scratchpad.

Lives in Your System Tray
