Offline Clipboard Manager for Windows
VeilClip
Bring frequently reused clipboard material into one local workspace.
Quick answer
What is VeilClip best for?
VeilClip is a free Windows clipboard manager for people who want searchable clipboard history, reusable snippets, images, favorites, and encrypted notes without cloud sync. It stores clipboard workflows locally on Windows 10 or 11, adds source-app context and image tools, and is designed for private, single-device copy-and-paste work. It is intended for one-device workflows rather than managed cross-device synchronization.
What's new in VeilClip 1.1.3
What's New in VeilClip 1.1.3
VeilClip 1.1.3 focuses on reliability, polish, and a smoother daily clipboard workflow. It improves Favorites, Supporters, Donate behavior, Image Editor tools, startup handling, app branding, and common window-opening flows without changing the local-first clipboard model.
Supporters and Support Page
Supporters can load from a web-hosted list with local cache fallback, and the Support page now uses a cleaner layout with two clear links: Buy Me a Coffee and Donate Me.
Smarter Favorites
Favorites can now use custom display titles without changing the original clipboard content, and Favorites search checks titles, content, source app, and category.
Image Editor Upgrades
The Image Editor adds a Brush tool with color and thickness controls, plus export formats for PNG, JPEG/JPG, BMP, WebP, and TIFF/TIF.
Startup and Donate Behavior
Run at Windows startup defaults to on for the first packaged launch while respecting the user's choice afterward. Donate reminders are quieter, reset every 60 days, and avoid duplicate windows.
Logo and Package Polish
Active app, tray, installer, Store, and MSIX logo assets were refreshed with the new VeilClip logo, including transparent taskbar variants to reduce unwanted icon backplates.
Fixes and Reliability
Donate now opens correctly from tray, in-app, and clipboard window routes. Image Editor opening, Brush/Text option rows, tooltip text, dark-surface logo visibility, and EXE uninstall data handling were improved.

How to manage local clipboard history safely
Turn recurring text into clearly named snippets or favorites, retain source context when it distinguishes similar clips, and delete history that no longer has a purpose. Clipboard data may contain sensitive material, so avoid keeping it longer than necessary. Locked Notes are local protected notes, not a replacement for a password manager or an independent backup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is VeilClip completely free?
- Yes. VeilClip is free to download and use. Its current distribution routes are documented on the Downloads page.
- Does VeilClip send clipboard data to the cloud?
- VeilClip is designed for local, single-device clipboard workflows. Clipboard history and saved content remain on the Windows PC during normal use rather than being synchronized through a VeilClip cloud account.
- What Windows versions does VeilClip support?
- VeilClip supports Windows 10 version 19041.0 or higher and Windows 11.
- How do I open VeilClip quickly while using another app?
- Use VeilClip’s configured keyboard shortcut or its system-tray control. The exact shortcut can be reviewed and changed in the application settings.
- How secure is the Locked Notes vault in VeilClip?
- Locked Notes are intended for locally protected notes and use the encryption behavior documented on the product page. Use a strong password and keep a separate backup of information you cannot replace.
- When should I choose VeilClip instead of Windows clipboard history (Win+V)?
- Choose VeilClip when you need searchable local history, reusable snippets, favorites, image tools, or locked notes. Windows clipboard history may be sufficient for basic recent-item recall.
