Clipdiary: Lightweight Clipboard Saver

Clipdiary is a lightweight application that runs in the system tray and automatically saves any text, images, or files copied to the clipboard for later reference. It serves as an easy way to collect bits of information without interrupting your workflow.

What is Clipdiary?

Clipdiary is a free open source clipboard manager software for Windows. It runs in the background and automatically saves any text, images, files, or other content that is copied to the clipboard.

Some key features of Clipdiary include:

  • Saves clipboard content to searchable notes for later reference
  • Supports plain text, rich text, images, files and other formats
  • Lightweight system tray application with minimal CPU/memory usage
  • Configurable save options - can exclude certain applications or file types
  • Notes can be tagged, searched, edited or deleted
  • Export notes to HTML or text files
  • Portable version available that can run from a USB drive

Clipdiary serves as an easy way to collect bits of information from across different applications without interrupting your normal workflow. It helps you keep track of content you find important without having to stop to organize or file it away somewhere. The saved clipboard notes act as a searchable database of content snippets.

If you often copy partial content from web pages, text documents, chat/messaging apps, images and more that you want to reference later, Clipdiary can automatically capture all those clips for you behind the scenes so they are available when needed.
