Clipboard History IO

Clipboard History IO

Clipboard History IO is an open source clipboard manager delivered as a browser extension, mobile apps, and a Pro web app. It keeps a searchable history of everything you copy, with favorites, tags, merge tools, floating window mode, context menu paste, and keyboard shortcuts.

By default all clipboard data stays on your device. The Chrome and Firefox extensions store history locally, which is why the project publishes its code on GitHub for inspection. Pro adds optional cloud sync through InstantDB so you can access selected items across devices, plus a mobile-friendly web app and priority support.

The tool targets anyone who copies and pastes all day: developers, writers, support staff, and students. Import and export supports JSON from this extension or legacy tools like Clipboard History Pro, making migration straightforward.

Top Features:
  1. Stores a full clipboard history locally by default with unlimited local storage on the free plan

  2. Favorite, tag, merge, and search items with floating window and context menu paste options

  3. Chrome and Firefox extensions plus iOS and Android mobile apps for cross-platform access

  4. Import and export JSON history, including migrations from Clipboard History Pro

  5. Pro plan adds cloud sync, a mobile web app, and a six-month free trial

Pros:
  1. Open source code you can audit before trusting a clipboard tool.

  2. Local-first storage keeps clipboard history private without a subscription.

  3. Supports Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and Android with JSON import for migrations.

Cons:
  1. Cloud sync requires a paid Pro subscription.

  2. Mobile app availability is still rolling out beyond the web experience.
