Clipman

Clipman is a portable, accessible clipboard manager for Windows from Andre Louis. It keeps text and file clipboard history, supports grouping, filtering, cleanup actions, shared database setups, diagnostics, command-line controls, compressed history storage, optional encrypted history, and cooperative shared-folder update handling.

Want to try my new clipboard manager? It is called Clipman and is based on work done way back in about 2014 by Tyler Spivey.

Clipman is intentionally portable. It does not require an installer. Machine-specific settings and the default shared database stay in the Settings folder near the executable unless you choose another database path.

Use the File history tab to review recent file copy or cut clipboard events captured while Clipman has been running. Press Enter on a file event to put those files back on the Windows clipboard. Its Application key menu is separate from the text history menu and only shows file-event actions.

Features include a running-process picker for ignored applications, groups, group filtering, quick named lookup, text cleanup actions, first-ten quick copy keys, diagnostics copy support, and command-line pause, resume, toggle, add, import, and export options.

It adds machine attribution for text history entries with a Machine column and machine sort mode for shared database setups. It uses a compressed .clipdb history database so the live clipboard history is not stored as plain searchable text. It also includes optional password-based history database encryption, with the password protected by Windows per user and machine.

Clipman can clean common sync-conflict copies of its settings and history database, detect shared update state, and cooperate with synced-folder instances so other computers can close briefly while a network-shared executable is replaced, then restart from the updated copy.
