About

yanklog keeps copied text searchable without sending clipboard content off your device. Clipboard history is stored in a local encrypted database and can be paused or filtered whenever needed. Search the complete history, pin useful clips, undo accidental deletions, and open the keyboard-focused Quick Pick window from a desktop shortcut. Retention limits and privacy filters control what is captured and how long it is kept. Password-encrypted backups can move selected items or the complete history between yanklog installations.
