In their own words
Clipdiary
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.
