Clipboard history for Windows

Everything you copy, one shortcut away.

Imbak quietly remembers the text you copy. Press Ctrl Shift V, type a few letters, press Enter, and it's pasted right where you were. Nothing ever leaves your PC.

Coming soon to the Microsoft Store. Free to use; Pro is a one-time upgrade.

How it works

Copy as usual. Find it in a second.

  1. Copy anything

    Imbak runs in the notification area and saves the text you copy in any app. It uses no CPU while it waits.

  2. Press Ctrl Shift V

    A small window opens over what you're doing, newest copies first. Type to search everything you've saved.

  3. Press Enter

    Imbak pastes it straight into the app you were using. If Windows won't allow that, it tells you and keeps it ready to paste.

Search that keeps up

Matches any part of the text, in any language, as you type. Thousands of items search instantly.

Favorites and snippets

Star what you reuse so it's never cleared, and save named snippets like an address or a signature.

Made for real work

Links, code, commands and colours are recognised at a glance. Very large copies are skipped, never cut short.

Pause any time

One click stops recording. Nothing copied while paused is saved or queued for later.

Skips private copies

Copies that apps mark as private, as most password managers do, are never saved. You can exclude any app too.

Fits your Windows

Light, dark and high-contrast themes, display scaling, multiple monitors and screen readers.

Privacy

Your clipboard is personal. It stays that way.

A clipboard history sees everything you copy. Imbak is built so that history never leaves your computer.

  • Local only. History is stored in your Windows user profile. Imbak has no servers to send it to.
  • No account, no tracking. No sign-up, no analytics, no ads.
  • You decide when it records. Nothing is saved until you turn recording on, and you can pause or clear it at any time.
  • Private copies are skipped. Imbak respects the Windows marker that password managers use to keep copies out of clipboard history.

Detection of private copies depends on the app you copy from, so it can't be guaranteed. When in doubt, pause recording. Read the full privacy policy.

FAQ

Questions

Does Imbak send my clipboard anywhere?

No. Your history is stored only on your PC, and the app has no servers to send it to. Pro licences are checked on your PC too, so there's no online activation.

How is it different from Windows' own clipboard history (Win+V)?

Windows keeps your last 25 items. Imbak keeps as much as you like, searches all of it as you type, pastes back into the app you were using, and adds favorites and snippets.

Which versions of Windows does it support?

Imbak is built for Windows 11 and also runs on Windows 10 (64-bit).

Does it save images or files?

The free version saves text. When you copy formatted text, Imbak keeps the plain text. Image history and kept formatting are planned for Pro.

Why didn't it paste into one app?

Windows doesn't let normal apps type into programs running as administrator. In that case Imbak tells you and leaves the text on the clipboard so you can press Ctrl V yourself.

Can I get a refund on Pro?

Yes, within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked. See the refund policy.
