What platforms does ClipboardGuru support?

ClipboardGuru is available for Windows 10 (build 1903 and later), Windows 11, and macOS. Both platforms have full feature parity — keyboard cycling, starred entries, rich text preview, and encrypted local storage are all included on every supported OS.

Is my clipboard history safe with ClipboardGuru?

Yes. Every clipboard entry is encrypted at rest using platform-native security before being written to disk. On Windows this is DPAPI, with the key bound to your Windows user account credentials. On macOS the equivalent platform encryption is used. Either way, the encrypted data is unreadable on any other machine or under any other user account. There is no cloud upload, no telemetry, and no analytics.

What happens to my ClipboardGuru history if I reinstall my OS?

Clipboard history is encrypted with credentials specific to your current OS installation. After a reinstall — whether on Windows or macOS — those credentials change, so the old history cannot be decrypted. This is a deliberate security design — your data never outlives its user session.

Can I use ClipboardGuru on multiple computers?

Yes. The Single Device license (€4.99) covers one computer — Windows or Mac. The Unlimited Devices license (€9.99) lets you install ClipboardGuru on all your personal computers, mixing Windows and macOS freely. Each device keeps its own independent history — there is no sync across machines, which keeps all data fully local.

Is there a free trial for ClipboardGuru?

Yes. Download the 14-day free trial — no credit card required. The trial is fully functional with no features locked or watermarked.

Does ClipboardGuru include future updates?

Yes. Both the Single Device (€4.99) and Unlimited Devices (€9.99) one-time purchases include all future updates within the v1.x release series at no additional cost. If a major v2 is ever released, existing customers receive a meaningful discount on the upgrade.

How much does ClipboardGuru cost?

ClipboardGuru offers two one-time plans: Single Device for €4.99 (1 computer — Windows or Mac) and Unlimited Devices for €9.99 (all your computers, Windows and macOS). No subscription, no renewal fees. Both include a lifetime license and all v1.x updates. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required.

How does ClipboardGuru differ from other clipboard managers?

ClipboardGuru is designed around keyboard-only operation: hold Ctrl (or CMD on Mac), keep pressing V to cycle through clipboard history, release to paste — no mouse, no menus. Most clipboard managers require you to click through a popup list. ClipboardGuru also offers platform-native encrypted local storage, a native binary (not Electron), runs on Windows and macOS, and is available at a one-time price with no subscription.
