Clipboard Manager and Text Expander - Clipboard History Pro
Description from store

Clipboard History Pro saves everything you copy and lets you reuse it instantly. No setup required — it works the moment you install it.

Your clipboard history is searchable, organized, and always one click away. Star important clips, tag them for quick access, or search through weeks of history to find exactly what you need.

Create text shortcuts that expand as you type. Define a short keyword like ;sig and it instantly becomes your full email signature — on any webpage, in any text field.

Key Features

• Unlimited clipboard history — every copied text, link, and image is saved automatically
• Text expander — create shortcuts that expand into full sentences, code blocks, or templates
• Smart search — find any clip instantly, even from weeks ago
• Favorites and tags — organize your most-used clips for quick access
• Cloud sync — sync clips and shortcuts across Chrome, Android, and iOS
• Floating mode — keep your clipboard in a separate always-on-top window
• Clipboard widget — paste from your history on any webpage without opening the extension
• Keyboard shortcuts — customize quick-paste keys for your favorite clips
• Context menu — right-click any text field to paste from history
• Password lock — secure your clipboard with an optional passcode

Free and Pro Plans

The free plan includes clipboard history and basic text expansion. Pro unlocks unlimited history, cloud sync, floating mode, the clipboard widget, password lock, and advanced shortcuts.

FAQ

How does it save my copied items?
The extension runs in the background and automatically logs everything you copy. Your history is stored locally in your browser.

How does the text expander work?
Define a short keyword (like ;sig) and when you type it in any text field, it expands into your full pre-set text automatically.

Is my data secure?
Your data is stored locally. The Pro plan adds an optional password lock for sensitive information.

Does it work on all websites?
Yes, the clipboard manager works everywhere. The text expander works on virtually all web pages — some sites with custom editors may need the additional tab permission, which you can enable in settings.

It's useful and reduces the need to navigate between pages web to copy. Thank you for its user-friendly design and very smooth operation.
Chris Johnson
Dishonest marketing. I'm told that this extension tracks text, links, and IMAGES. Yet nowhere in the interface can I see where copied images are stored. Nor do I know how to access them. This is a feature that is sorely needed, and should have been included upon launch. If it is included, points deducted anyway for not making it easy to find. This extension is not much better than Windows' own Clipboard history, which DOES track images.
Zeian Valentin
Bug stops me from naming my copied things, but overall it's pretty good
Daniel Mendes
Leaks too much RAM & processing, which is caused by big copies, But even when the settings are configured to avoid this issue and ignore such copies and even after restarting it after such events, it still occurs. Useless.
Vishnu Manoharan
nothing else to say, worth it
Mhairi Laing
Generally a good app, however this week it's started adding each thing I copy twice, really clogging up the clipboard. Very disappointing.
Andrew Forte
In the last month or so, it's stopped working entirely, been a paying customer for years and decided to move today! You have one job, save the things I copy!
Moti Ara
flowting clipboard not free
honeybread (severe pain)
love this extension, used it for years, but it's not working anymore? if I want to save something, I must manually add it instead of it automatically adding any time I copy. I see others are having this issue, hopefully gets resolved soon as the extension is great.
Rahul Majumder
It is now not copying all things. I'm copying something but saving to the list.
Sage Antone
Had it for years. Worked great. But as of late, it is NOT saving all copied history. I'll copy something 5 minutes ago and look at the history, and it will show that the last thing I copied was from 12 hours ago. This obviously defeats the purpose of an app that's supposed to SAVE things.
Dave Bolen
Used to be a great tool, hasn't worked correctly in several weeks and ended up removing as it's useless now.
Jessica Baggot
Have loved this extension for a while now but whatever they did behind the scenes borked it. I've tried re-installing twice and it's just not copying the majority of text I try :(
Ben Qa (Winder)
Great extension... when it's working. Version 3.51.101 isn't picking up anything I copy.
devinevegan
After some update they did it just doesn't even copy and save hardly anything to my clipboard anymore. This has been my absolute favorite clipboard app for years and years but I'm going to have to start looking elsewhere unfortunately unless the problem is fixed. Only about 20% of what I copy actually makes it into the clipboard anymore.
Dem Bora
It worked perfect but for the last few weeks it doesn't recognize majority of copies . I reinstalled it and it's still the same.

I panicked, All tab shows 0 total items. I have to look at Cloud Tab to show more items. If a PC is broken, favorites are all GONE. Only Cloud items are stored. I would like to see CLOUD as 2nd tab, not 4th tab, can I move it? No? I don't need Short and Fav tabs. Fav is useless because the items VANISH if my PC brakes again. The only advantage of favorite is "delete protection"
Amber
If it wasn't for this app I'd be lost because I forget everything and if I need to repeat something later....copy and paste baby .... Thank YOU!!!!
Eitan
Lame! There is no where to access!
Liance
what happened again? this morning still fine, but this afternoon it only loading, empty page and can't use it anymore. pls fix it soon
Luca Cusolito
This is SO helpful for keeping my links and copied text accessible and organized. Saves me a ton of time! I've been using this for years.
Mary Rodriguez
Something went wrong Cannot authenticate user I am trying to purchase the Pro version and from what I see they don’t want to sell subscriptions. I have tried in every possible way.
Colin Burns
Incredible productivity hack, and the team continues to roll out new features and fix bugs with excellent communication
Ken Smith II
I'm a Nurse Practitioner. Not all EMR softwares has ways to quickley insert templates...etc. This app has been life saver.
Vince Costa
I would be dead in the water without this app. I use it constantly Hundreds of times daily. Be creative! Copy TM and seldom used keyboard characters. Copy your favorite emoji or strings of emoji. Your favorite hashtags and favorite email addresses etc. It is INVALUABLE! It's worth 10 times the price. However, I hope they don't raise the price. An amazing value!
sami taxif
It's been almost a week like this " Something went wrong and error happened Do not panic, we are working on it :) If you want to report this issue, please contact us at [email protected] "
JFreez
its solid- just works!
Jonathan Truong
No complaints after using it for a very long time - until I got an update notification in Chrome today where the extension has updated permissions with "read and change all your data on all websites" and "know your email address". (Previously, it only needed "read your browsing history" and "read and modify data you copy and paste") 1-star'ed and found another extension to replace this with.
Takano Hitomi
Excellent extension until today's update. It wouldn't work anymore until I allowed it to "read and change all data from all websites" and "know my email address" which is somewhat disturbing. What was the reason for doing this? Why was this part of the update?
Rajmund
Why after new update this extension needs email address and permision to "change and read everything from website"? It was my favorite extension and my first installed on every browser but now I have to think about it.
gold fog
i never had a problem with it until it automatically save only some of what i copied but i realised it had a setting for it, but now one thing that cant be fixed is that all of them dissapeared automatically, i had 3 days worth of things i copied which i usually organise after some time and now i dont know how they deleted themselves and i swear i didnt click anything..some words i organised also showed up by itself before i realised everythng dissapeared later on...

2.25.25 - would love a dark mode option +/- transparency slider for the widget. 12.28.24 - My "clipboard widget" hasn’t been working for the past several days. It’s not popping up when I’ve tried to run it via keyboard shortcut, context menu, nor in the extension icon. 11.21.24 - Please update this extension to keep it on google chrome!!!!! I love my pro plan, and I don’t want this to be removed!!!
Mohammad Tuleimat
Used it for many years, now wants to see my history. Time to move on... Edit: Seems like they are active in keeping users informed and rolled back that permission.
Youssef Mubarak
I noticed that disabling monitoring on the app does not stop copied items from being added to it. Additionally, it used to only copy items from the browser, but now it also copies from other macOS apps. I'd like to reuse it if these issues are fixed.
Dylan Merrick
still has "Read your browsing history" as a permission... uninstalling now because other extensions like https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clipboard-history-io-secu/ombhfdknibjljckajldielimdjcomcek do the same thing without that permission
Ankit Gadia
uninstalling due to new permissions request,.
Farzam Imani
Unfortunately going to have to uninstall, was a really great extension for years.
Jason Russell
Loved it but recent changes lost users trust, especially in this age of data theft and privacy violation.
Peter Vaselopulos
There were some issues with app recently, but they were repaired and everything is working fine now. A great app, highly recommended. I have been using this app for many years now and it has been very helpful to me in my work
Aiko Sato_News
Used to be great now all I get is loading screens and its shady new updates. Sad what its come to☹️
Pax
it was working great, but now its asking for shady permissions... I decided to make my own and it works like a sharm, and best of all zero worries about shady practices
Jeanette Taylor
Removed because it wanted to: Read and change all your data on all websites.
Gabriel X
please when will you fix the problem? we have been waiting for it . not the copy monitor is always on , it records all the copy content whan you copy something . widget can't pop out. I have to rate it 1 star to alarm you guys , please
Frederic Baudoin
Thanks for fixing!
Izaz Ahmad
It was a good extension, but since the last update, now when i paste something, it pastes the same thing multiple times. Like for example, if i want to paste the word "Full time", it will paste it as "Full timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull timeFull time". Sorry I chaned my previous 5 star review to 1
Andy Young
This chrome extension has served me well but due to performance issues, excessive ads, the lack of transparency regarding clipboard data handling, and excessive permissions, I created a new and improved alternative: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clipboard-history-pro-sec/ombhfdknibjljckajldielimdjcomcek It's faster, open source, and follows Chrome extension best practices. All core features from this extension are already included and the more advanced features are actively being developed. Feedback is very much appreciated and will really help shape it, thanks!
MUHAMMED BUNYAMIN ENES M. ER
whats with the sketchy permissions? make a statement on this cuz i am not keeping this on my chrome bro
Ellen Foley in Madison, Wi
How will you alert us that this is fixed. My updates say I have the current version. I don't see a fix. I agree with the others who are much smarter than me on this.
Krish
Have been using this for so many years at this point. > Why did you guys suddenly start asking for shady permissions? First browser history, then when people allowed it you want full access to all data on all sites? > Please give clarity on why you need these permissions. And some assurance on how you plan to use this data.
