Recopy Demo

Features

Everything you need to manage your clipboard history.

Full-type Support

Plain text, rich text, images, files, and links — every clipboard format, captured.

Instant Recall

Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to summon, Tab for Pins, F to favorite, Cmd/Ctrl+1-9 to quick paste. All from the keyboard.

Smart Dedup

SHA-256 hashing detects duplicates automatically. Only the latest copy stays.

Ranked Fuzzy Search

Multi-keyword search across text, filenames, and source apps. Exact and ordered matches rise to the top.

Flexible Layout

Place the panel at the bottom, top, left, or right. Top/bottom layouts can be grouped or one fast single row.

Non-activating Panel

NSPanel on macOS plus foreground restore and a keyboard hook on Windows keep your active app in focus.

Smart Retention

Set retention by days, count, or keep everything. Auto-cleanup on launch, favorites are always safe.

Privacy First

All data stored locally in SQLite. Nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your machine.

How it Works

Three steps. That's all it takes.

1

Copy anything

Text, images, files — Recopy captures it all automatically in the background.

2

Summon Recopy

Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to open the panel. Browse, search, or quick paste from your clipboard history.

3

Paste it back

Select an item and press Enter. Content is pasted seamlessly into your active app.

Under the Hood

Built with performance and privacy in mind.
