ClipB review
ClipB suits Windows and Mac users who want deep local clipboard organization.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ClipB is a local-first clipboard manager for macOS and Windows users who want more structure than a basic clipboard history. It captures copied text, links, code snippets, screenshots, images, file paths, and optional local file backups. Clips can be restored through a global shortcut or quick-copy popup, while the app operates without an account or cloud sync by default. Its open-source AGPL-3.0-or-later license also suits users who prefer software that can be inspected and self-managed.
Organization is ClipB’s strongest fit. Searchable history is presented through timeline views by day, week, month, and year, giving users several ways to locate older clips. Tags, notes, pins, and favorites support different retrieval habits, while snippet capture makes the app relevant to developers and other users who repeatedly reuse structured text. Image and screenshot support extends the workflow beyond plain text, and JSON or .clipb archive import and export provide a way to move or preserve clipboard data.
Privacy controls are another clear focus. ClipB stores data locally, includes a privacy mode and pause timer, and supports sensitive-clip filters. That local-first approach is appropriate for users who do not need cloud access across devices and want clipboard data kept on their computers. The trade-off is platform scope: ClipB supports macOS and Windows, while Linux builds are planned, and cross-device sync is not included. Choose ClipB for rich local organization across those two desktop platforms; choose another clipboard manager if synchronized access or current Linux support is essential.
