Never lose what you copied
screenpipe keeps a searchable history of everything on your screen — including everything you copy. Find any text, link, or snippet from days ago in seconds.
Your clipboard only remembers one thing
You copy and paste dozens of times a day. Your OS forgets each one.
Copied a URL, then copied something else — the link is gone
Can't find the code snippet you copied from Stack Overflow yesterday
Lost an address, phone number, or password you copied earlier
No way to search through things you've previously copied
Built-in clipboard managers only keep a short list with no search
Full clipboard history, powered by screen recording
screenpipe records your screen 24/7 with OCR. Every piece of text that appears on your screen — including clipboard contents — is indexed and searchable. Go beyond clipboard managers: search anything you've ever seen.
Unlimited history
No 25-item limit. Everything you've seen on screen is recorded and searchable — weeks and months back.
AI-powered search
Search in natural language: 'that API key I copied last Tuesday' or 'the address from the email'.
More than clipboard
Not just what you copied — anything visible on screen. Text in images, code in terminals, messages in chat apps.
100% local
All data stays on your device. No cloud sync, no third-party access to your clipboard contents.
