01 Clipboard history, made visual

vPaste

A polished clipboard, one shortcut away

02Polished, not persistent

Slides in when needed. Gets out of the way

The compact panel appears above your current app with smooth motion, keeps keyboard and mouse selection close, then returns focus after you paste

03See more than a list of copies

Know what it is before you paste

Every card shows useful context—content preview, format, source app, and time—so history stays readable instead of becoming a wall of text

04Keep more than clipboard text

Copy whatever the work requires

vPaste stores each content type with the details needed to recognize, preview, search, and restore it—from rich formatting and link metadata to image dimensions and file paths

Abstract stack of clipboard content formats

Text

Keep copied HTML or RTF so cards preserve hierarchy, tables, links, and styling in preview, with a searchable plain-text fallback

01Layout, tables & links
02HTML / RTF + fallback
03Rich or plain-text paste

Images

Preview the image without loading the original into the list

01Persistent thumbnail
02Pixel dimensions
03Screenshots, web & local

Colors

Recognize common CSS colors and show the exact value

01HEX / RGB / HSL
02Live color swatch
03One-click conversion

Files

Keep files and folders as files—not text paths

01Name, type & path
02Single, folder or batch
03Paste back as file list

Abstract optical object organizing content into searchable layers

05Search the details that survived

Remember a word, a title, a path, or an app

Search plain and rich text, cached link titles, file names and paths, and source apps. Build tabs that filter by content type, app, date, favorites, or record tags

Link titles, file names, and paths
Source app, date, favorites, and tags

07Local by design, specific by default

History stays on your device—and is encrypted there

vPaste encrypts history on disk, skips clipboard content marked sensitive by the system, and can exclude copies from apps you choose. A complete .vphistory archive moves your history, images, rich formats, and tags to another installation
