Clipboard history
Everything you copy — text, rich text, images — captured, searchable, and pinnable. Sensitive clips are detected and blurred until you hover.
The system clipboard holds one thing and forgets it the moment you copy the next. QlipLab keeps the history, understands what each clip is, and gives you the tools you’d otherwise open a website for — without the clip ever leaving your machine.

Clipboard history
Everything you copy — text, rich text, images — captured, searchable, and pinnable. Sensitive clips are detected and blurred until you hover.
24 formats, auto-detected
JSON, JWT, Base64, URL, SQL, XML, YAML, UUID, timestamps, colors, CSV, regex, hex, Markdown, and seven programming languages — recognized the instant you copy them.
40 one-click transforms
Beautify JSON, decode a JWT, convert CSV to JSON, hash a string, change case, sort and dedupe lines — no website, no round-trip. Relevant transforms surface for the detected format.
Side-by-side diff
Select any two clips and compare them in a real Monaco diff — side-by-side or inline, with syntax coloring from the detected format.
Snippets & text expansion
Save the things you type constantly and paste them from the panel — or give them a trigger and have them expand inline as you type, anywhere.
Encrypted vault
Cards, bank details, addresses, API keys and personal data behind AES-256-GCM. The key never touches disk; the master password is never stored, only a salted hash.
Paste back where you were
Click a clip and QlipLab returns focus to the app you came from and pastes — like Ditto, on every platform.
Local-first, no telemetry
No account, no cloud, no analytics. Your clipboard content never leaves the device. Uninstalling removes everything.
QlipLab has no cloud component. Clipboard history, snippets, settings and the vault all live in local storage in the app’s own data directory. There is no telemetry and no background data collection.
The only things that ever leave the device are two you turn on yourself: an opt-in crash report (off by default — an error message and a sanitized stack trace, never clipboard or vault content), and a manual bug report you type and send. Both go to a small open-source proxy that files a GitHub issue. That’s the whole list. See Privacy.
An office worker keeps email templates and addresses a keystroke away. An accountant keeps IBANs and tax numbers in the vault. A backend developer beautifies an API response, decodes a token to check its expiry, and diffs two responses to find the regression — without leaving the clipboard. Same app, same keyboard shortcuts.
