@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 10:51

What's new

  • Smooth scrolling through clipboard history, with keyboard navigation and list virtualization preserved.
  • Automatic update checks, background downloads, and a tray action to restart when an update is ready.
  • A per-user installer and a portable package, both including the .NET runtime.
  • Automated builds, tests, packaging, and publication for future version tags.

Install or upgrade

Download WinClip.App-win-Setup.exe, or extract WinClip.App-win-Portable.zip to a permanent, writable folder and run WinClip.exe. Keep the portable package's files together.

If you use the older standalone exe, quit that copy before installing this version. Your clipboard history and settings are reused. Replace old shortcuts and enable Start with Windows again from the new copy if needed. The older standalone exe cannot update itself.

WinClip is early software. The binaries are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. SHA256SUMS.txt contains checksums for the installer, portable zip, and update package.

Clipboard history stays on your PC. Update checks contact GitHub; you can disable automatic checks in Settings.

Code signing policy

WinClip is applying to SignPath Foundation. Approval is pending; these binaries remain unsigned. Code signing policy.

First public build of WinClip, a keyboard-first clipboard history for Windows inspired by Maccy.

Alpha. It works on the developer's machine, but it hasn't been tested on others yet. Expect rough edges, and please open an issue if something breaks.

Download

File Size Use it if
WinClip-0.1.0-alpha-win-x64.exe 73 MB You just want it to run. Nothing else to install.
WinClip-0.1.0-alpha-win-x64-small.exe 2.5 MB You already have the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.

Both need 64-bit Windows 11; Windows 10 is untested. Put the exe somewhere permanent and double-click it. WinClip lives in the tray. Press Ctrl+Alt+V to open your history.

SmartScreen warning: the exe isn't code-signed yet, so Windows says it's from an unknown publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway. To check the download, compare its SHA-256 with SHA256SUMS.txt:

Get-FileHash .\WinClip-0.1.0-alpha-win-x64.exe

What's in it

  • Searchable history of text, images and files, with fuzzy search
  • Formatting kept when pasting; Shift+Enter pastes plain text
  • Pins, and pasting straight into the app you were typing in
  • History encrypted with your Windows account; password-manager copies are skipped
  • Settings with a shortcut recorder, Start with Windows, and app exclusions
  • Pause recording from the tray menu

Known limits

  • Pasting into apps running as administrator copies but doesn't paste.
  • In Chrome, Electron apps and most terminals the popup opens at the mouse, not the text cursor.
  • No auto-update yet. Check this page for new versions.

Built from commit 03eb486.
