Clipboard Manager for Windows is a free and open source clipboard manager that can be used to manage your clipboard, change the formatting and case of text, search clips, create permanent clips, join two clips together, sync clipboards between computers, etc. Clipboard Manager for Windows is available on both Windows and Mac.
Ditto
Ditto is a clipboard manager that is somehow regularly updated and comes with 64-bit support for free. I would gladly pay a small fee in order to use it, but since it’s free, I am even happier. It’s also one of those programs that looks super simple on the outside, but contains a huge number of features and options when you really dig into it.
The great thing about using a computer is that anyone can get started with it easily and then slowly learn or play with the options and features later on. Once you become a pro at using it, you’ll wonder how you ever lasted without it.
Ditto is a new clipboard app that lets you store an unlimited number of items on the clipboard. This means you can copy something and then go and search for that copied item 5 days later and it’ll show up instantly. Let’s see how to use some of the basic features. ..
The Windows 10 “File History” feature lets you go back and view files you’ve copied to the system in the past. ..
The interface is deceiving simplistic, which I find to be good because I don’t necessarily need to see all the options right on the main GUI interface. So there are multiple ways you can paste content once you have items in the clipboard, so let’s talk about them. ..
To paste something, just hold down CTRL and then press the tilda key.
- Copy and paste the text from the clipboard
- Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) to copy the text
- Use the Share button on your browser to share the link with others ..
If the item is not in the currently active window or text box, it will be pasted into the document’s current search field ..

Method 3: I use the keyboard to paste clips. This is the quickest and easiest way to get the results you need.
There are a lot of options in this article, but you can explore them by right-clicking anywhere in the list and choosing Options.
Right-clicking on a clip in Windows 10 lets you see a bunch of other options, including being able to edit the clip, see the details about the clip like when it was created and last used, having the ability to make the clip sticky so that it is always at the top or bottom, deleting a clip, pasting a text clip as plain text only, etc.
The Options dialog has a lot of settings and options, which can be confusing to understand. Thankfully, they have a help page that explains each option in detail so you don’t have to try and figure out what it does. ..
The user’s computer is not able to paste the item they selected.
ArsClip
ArsClip is a clipboard manager that gets regular updates. It has a huge number of features, including macros, cloud syncing, multiple file type support, clipboard editing, etc.
You can either use the popup menu or the Clipboard Bar to manage your clips.
ArsClip is a versatile and customizable video editor that can be used to create professional videos. Just right-click on the tray icon and choose Configure to get started.
ClipX is a decade old program that is not being updated, while this program is constantly being updated. ..
ClipX
ClipX is a small program that does the same thing as other tools, but with fewer features. Unfortunately, it has not been updated since 2008, but still works fine on Windows 7 and Windows 8/10 64-bit. The premise is the same: you copy items normally and then use a shortcut key to access those items. ..
ClipX lets you copy text or images to test out how they will look on your screen. For example, I copied four pieces of text and one image. Clicking on the system tray icon will show me all of my copied items, which I can then choose by simply clicking on any item or by pressing the number that is listed next to the clip.
The great thing is that I can actually see the images in the clipboard queue, which makes it very easy to quickly pick the item I want. If you’re already in a program, let’s say Word, you can bring up the same display above and paste any item into the document by pressing Windows Key + V and pressing the number corresponding to the item in the clipboard. ..
There is not a whole lot that ClipX does, other than its search feature and the ability to edit text clips.
If you right-click on the tray icon and go to Configure, you’ll see all of the different options that you can set for the program.
You can choose how many items to store on your computer and whether you want it to automatically start with Windows. It also has a history feature so you can save the changes you make across sessions.
One nice feature of ClipX is that you can save your entire clipboard to a file and re-load it later on the same computer or a different computer. Just right-click on the tray icon and go to Clipboard History and then choose Save History. Ditto has a network syncing option, which is definitely nicer, but this works too if you sync clipboards rarely.
ClipX is a powerful video editing program that can be enhanced with plugins. The Download Plugins section on the ClipX homepage offers a variety of plugins that can make your videos more efficient and professional.
I don’t like to mention too many programs because I find that to be useless. I’ve tested many, but these three work well, have good features and don’t crash or contain any junkware/malware. Ditto is my favorite, but I felt the need to mention a few alternatives for those who like to have choice. Enjoy!
