A beautiful, privacy-focused clipboard history manager — stores everything you copy locally, so you can recall any clip at any time.
-0047B3?style=for-the-badge&logo=windows&logoColor=white){kind=icon}
A beautiful, privacy-focused clipboard history manager for Windows. CyberPaste stores everything you copy — text, code, images, files, URLs — in a local SQLite database, so you can recall any specific clip at any time. Search, organize, pin, edit, and paste instantly.
Free and open source (GPLv3) — no ads, no tracking, and no data collection. Just enjoy it.
Most clipboard managers either send your data to the cloud or are too basic to be useful. CyberPaste gives you the best of both worlds: rich content support, AI-powered assistance, and rock-solid privacy — all in a lightweight Tauri app with a stunning modern neon aesthetic.

Download the latest installer or portable build from GitHub Releases.
WinGet: Support is planned, but
CyberGems.CyberPastehas not yet been published in the official WinGet community source. Thewinget install CyberGems.CyberPastecommand is not available yet.
Windows may show a SmartScreen warning the first time you run the CyberPaste installer — this is an unsigned hobby app, so Windows hasn't built reputation for the file yet. This is expected; the source is public so you can inspect exactly what it does. The same can appear when launching the portable build.

- Click Run anyway.

Originally forked from PastePaw by XueshiQiao. CyberPaste has since been extensively rewritten and expanded by CyberGems.
This project also builds on open-source components including Tauri, React, SQLite, and Rust — thanks to their authors and maintainers.
CyberPaste is one of the projects in CyberGems, a personal set of daily-use tools for Windows. I've spent countless hours building and refining it for my own use, and it will continue to be maintained by me. I recently decided to share the entire suite with the world, completely free and open-source.
If you're enjoying CyberPaste, I'd be truly grateful for your support! You can show your appreciation by giving a star on GitHub or making a donation. Thank you! 🙏
