Clipdiary vs Pasteable

Clipdiary is a Windows clipboard manager that saves copied content in a history for later retrieval. It can record plain text, RTF, BMP images, HTML, files, and other clipboard data formats. Users can search the history, star important clips, and sort clips into labeled folders. The Snippets feature keeps frequently used text, including replies, addresses, and code, ready for pasting. The maker says clipboard history stays on the computer and can be password-protected with AES-256 database encryption. Clipdiary has a free plan and a fully functional 60-day trial. Paid licenses are one-time purchases: the Personal License costs 19.99 USD once for personal, non-commercial home use, while business, academic, or government use requires the Business License at 29.99 USD once. The Extended License costs 39.99 USD once for up to five family-owned computers, including a work PC. The maker offers a portable version, free lifetime technical support for registered customers, and an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee. Future updates are free starting with Clipdiary 5.72.

Pasteable saves copied text, rich text, HTML, images, files, URLs, and code in a searchable clipboard history. It offers full-text and on-device semantic search, including searches for images by description. Smart collections sort clips into groups such as Photos, Code, Links, Files, and Design; users can also create collections with custom rules. On desktop, ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+V opens a keyboard-driven overlay, and system-wide snippets can expand saved clips. Clip history is stored locally in SQLite, works offline without an account, and is encrypted at rest with an operating-system-sealed key. The maker says synced clips are encrypted on the device and its servers store only ciphertext. The free plan includes unlimited local history and 25 synced clips. Pasteable Pro costs $6 a month or $60 a year; Lifetime costs $80.00 USD one-time. The site lists macOS 11+, Windows 10 and 11, and 64-bit Linux, and says iOS and Android apps are in App Store and Play Store review.
