ClipBrew

ClipBrew keeps everything you copy - text, links, code, images and files - in a history you can search, filter and pin, so the snippet you copied an hour ago is never more than a few keystrokes away.

It runs quietly in the background. Press your shortcut, type a few letters, hit Enter, and the clip is back on your clipboard. Your history stays on your own computer; nothing is uploaded.

Highlights

1. Everything you copy, kept - text, links, code, screenshots, copied images and files all land in one history, newest first.
2. Type to find it - the search box is ready the moment the window opens and narrows the whole history as you type; arrow keys pick, Enter copies.
3. One shortcut, from anywhere - a keyboard shortcut you choose brings ClipBrew up over whatever you are doing.
4. Sorted by kind - Text, Link, Code, Image and File each get a segment with a live count, so a screenshot from this morning is one click away.
5. Code comes back as code - snippets are recognised when you copy them and shown highlighted, with a language tag, in 24 languages.
6. Formatting survives - formatted text pastes back formatted; one click copies it as plain text instead.
7. Pin what you reuse - pinned clips stay on top and are never removed by Clear or by trimming old history.
8. No duplicates - copy the same thing twice and it is kept once, moved back to the top.
9. Private by design - your history never leaves your computer. Desktop password managers are skipped automatically, and you can add any app you never want captured.
10. Your history, your size - keep the last 100, 500, 1000 or 5000 clips, or everything.

How it works

ClipBrew watches the clipboard and saves each new copy to a local history. Click a clip to copy it again, or click a link to open it in your browser. Pin the ones you reuse and press Clear to sweep away the rest. Close the window and ClipBrew keeps going in the background - the tray icon or your shortcut brings it back. Light and dark themes follow your system, or pick one. Updates are one click away in Settings.

Perfect for

1. Developers - commands, config blocks and code snippets, highlighted and a search away.
2. Writers and researchers - collect quotes, links and screenshots while you work, then paste them where they belong.
3. Support and sales - keep canned replies and addresses pinned for one-click reuse.
4. Anyone who copies a lot - stop re-copying the same things; your history is always one shortcut away.
