Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, ClipboardBuddy is free to download and use for clipboard history, basic search, and pinned items. Pro unlocks workspaces, templates, macros, AES encryption, image editing, advanced analytics, and priority support.
All clipboard data is stored locally on your device using a SQLite database. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your clipboard history never leaves your machine.
Macros are sequences of steps — paste a saved item, type specific text, send a key press, or add a delay — that execute in order when triggered. You can assign a global hotkey to any macro so it runs instantly from any application.
ClipboardBuddy automatically scans new clipboard items for patterns like credit card numbers, API keys, JWT tokens, AWS secret keys, and passwords. Detected items are flagged so you can choose to encrypt or delete them.
ClipboardBuddy can store an unlimited number of items. You can configure a retention period and history limit in settings to automatically clean up older entries and keep storage usage in check.
