The old workflow

Built-in clipboard history hits a wall fast.

Win+V is fine for occasional use—as a developer, researcher, or power user you hit tight history caps, loss on reboot, no deep full-text search, no paste transforms, and cloud sync friction you may not want near secrets. You end up re-copying or hunting elsewhere.

The IntelliClip workflow

Local persistence, instant search, window-aware ranking.

IntelliClip stores history in SQLite on disk across reboots, ranks what you probably need based on context, and adds regex extraction plus smart transforms so paste-ready clips take fewer keystrokes—without sending data to a cloud service.

Core features

Built for power users who move fast.

Every capability is tuned for fewer keystrokes between copy and paste: search, ranking, transforms, extraction, merge.

Sub-millisecond local search

SQLite FTS5 full-text indexing brings back URLs, hex colors, snippets, paths, or notes from deep history—you can type as soon as the overlay opens.

Context-aware suggestions

History is re-ranked for the foreground app so IDE, browser, and ticket clips surface when they matter—with less manual filtering.

Privacy guardrails

High-entropy strings and sensitive keys are intentionally kept out of the searchable index, and password manager copy events are ignored.

Paste transformations

Uppercase, lowercase, camelCase, strip HTML/RTF for plain paste, or clean values without a scratch buffer—wired for keyboard-first flow.

Regex extraction

From huge logs or blobs, isolate IPs, URLs, emails, and other patterns so you paste only the needles, not the haystack.

Multi-select merging

Select several clips with the keyboard, merge them, and paste them together. It is built for the repeated snippets, URLs, and notes that normally force you into multiple trips through the clipboard.

Persistent local history

Text, images (where supported), flattened rich text, paths, and snippets live in SQLite on disk—built to outlive single-session clipboard limits and accidental clears.

Zero cloud. Absolute privacy.

Clipboard managers sit near sensitive data by definition. IntelliClip is designed to stay offline: no accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync, and no external search enhancement. Your clipboard database lives on your machine.

Ignores 1Password, Bitwarden, and KeePassXC copy events.
Excludes high-entropy keys and sensitive strings from search indexing.
Stores clipboard history locally with no cloud-sync requirement.

Workflow

Three steps. Almost no mouse.

01

Copy like always

Keep using Ctrl+C. IntelliClip quietly records clips locally with negligible overhead until you summon the overlay.

02

Open with Alt+V

A native Mica-acrylic overlay appears over your work: type to search, browse ranked history, or drill into transformations.

Alt+V

03

Select and paste

Arrow keys, Enter to paste, optional transforms or Tab-driven extraction—the overlay closes and you stay in flow.

Where It Fits

  • Keeping code snippets, URLs, colors, and notes searchable across a full Windows workday
  • Pasting cleaner text into browsers, tickets, editors, docs, terminals, and chat tools
  • Extracting useful data from logs or copied blobs without routing clipboard history to a cloud service

Buy once. Keep your clipboard workflow.

IntelliClip uses the Automata Labs one-time purchase model. No monthly subscription for a background system utility, no account requirement, and no recurring billing fatigue.

Frequently asked questions

Does IntelliClip send clipboard history to the cloud?

No. IntelliClip is built as a local Windows utility with no accounts, no telemetry, and no cloud sync. Clipboard history stays on the local hard drive.

How does IntelliClip protect secrets?

IntelliClip detects high-entropy strings and sensitive keys so they can be excluded from the search index. It also ignores common password managers such as 1Password, Bitwarden, and KeePassXC.

What shortcut opens IntelliClip?

The IntelliClip overlay is designed around Alt+V, giving you a fast searchable clipboard surface without hunting through a full app window.

Is IntelliClip a subscription?

No. IntelliClip is a one-time purchase for Windows. Pay once and keep using the app without monthly billing.

Will IntelliClip slow down my computer?

IntelliClip uses a Rust and Tauri v2 backend for a low memory and CPU footprint. It captures clips in the background with minimal overhead until you summon it with Alt+V.

Does my purchase include future updates?

Yes. Buying through the Microsoft Store or by purchasing through our site gives you perpetual access to IntelliClip without recurring charges, with ongoing v1 updates as they ship.

What Windows versions does IntelliClip support?

IntelliClip targets Windows 11 (64-bit) with a native Mica-acrylic overlay. Many workflows also run on supported Windows 10 builds; see store listing for specifics.

How does IntelliClip compare to Ditto or CopyQ?

Ditto and CopyQ are strong free clipboard managers with long histories. IntelliClip emphasizes a Windows-native Mica overlay, SQLite FTS5 search, window-aware rankings, regex extraction without scripting, paste transforms out of the box, and hardened secret-handling—all for a one-time Windows purchase.
