Cubby is the clipboard history Windows should have shipped. It keeps copied text, images, files, and screenshots searchable after restarts, while offline OCR lets you find a screenshot by the words inside it. Everything stays encrypted on your PC: no account, no cloud, no clipboard telemetry. Open it with a shortcut, search, and paste.
Hey Product Hunt, I’m Tyler, the maker of Cubby.
I built it because Win+V is close to being useful, but it forgets the things I actually need later, especially screenshots.
Cubby is a Windows 11 clipboard history that:
✓ Keeps copied text, images, files, and screenshots after restarts
✓ Uses Windows’ offline OCR to make text inside screenshots searchable
✓ Stores history encrypted on your PC
✓ Requires no account and sends clipboard content nowhere
✓ Supports pins, folders, ignored apps, and remote-session workflows
Cubby began as a GPL fork of PastePaw. I preserved the attribution and license, then rebuilt major parts around reliability, privacy, Windows-native behavior, and OCR.
The moment I care about is simple: copy a screenshot today, remember three words weeks later, search those words, and get the screenshot back.
Cubby is free and open source. I’d especially love feedback on OCR accuracy, the cursor-positioned flyout, and which Windows apps or clipboard formats you use most.
the remote-session workflows line in the feature list caught my eye more than the OCR itself, clipboard sync over RDP is usually the flakiest part of working on a remote box. does Cubby bridge the local and remote clipboard history into one searchable list, or does each session just keep its own separate history
@tsouth2 love that this stays fully local, that's the right call for a clipboard tool! One thing I'd want before installing: does it auto-exclude sensitive copies, like from password managers, or is that something you have to set up yourself with the ignored apps list?
The offline OCR and no-account angle is strong, especially for screenshots that usually disappear into the clipboard void. I'd highlight retention and cleanup controls a bit more, because with a clipboard tool people will want to know how fast they can clear sensitive history or exclude certain apps.
