Your clipboard only remembers one thing

You copy and paste dozens of times a day. Your OS forgets each one.

01

Copied a URL, then copied something else — the link is gone

02

Can't find the code snippet you copied from Stack Overflow yesterday

03

Lost an address, phone number, or password you copied earlier

04

No way to search through things you've previously copied

05

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.
