Everything you copy, exactly when you need it.
Built to disappear until the moment you want it, then to be the fastest thing on your screen.
Keyboard mode
Type to search, ↑↓ to choose, Enter pastes straight into the app you were in. Ctrl+1…9 for instant picks.
Smart cards
JSON, SQL, C#, Python, JS, YAML, shell, stack traces, JWTs, GUIDs and colours are recognised and labelled automatically. Syntax colours on Pro.
Paste as…
Right-click any clip: camelCase, snake_case, JSON pretty/minify, Base64, URL encode, JWT decode, SHA-256 and more. The original stays untouched.
Secrets stay secret
API keys, tokens, private keys and passwords are masked on the card and wiped automatically. Password managers are always ignored.
Pin, colour, arrange
Pin what matters (it never expires), colour-code cards and drag them into your own order. Copying a card brings it back to the top.
Made for developers
The peeky CLI and a VS Code extension talk to your history over a private local channel: peeky list -q type:json, git diff | peeky push, or paste any clip at your cursor with Ctrl+Alt+H.
Three steps. Zero learning curve.

Privacy by design
Your clipboard never leaves your PC.
Clipboards hold passwords, private messages and work secrets. PeekyClipboard keeps all of it on your machine.
- Stored locally only: one file in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\PeekyClipboard. Nothing is uploaded or synced. - No account, no telemetry, no analytics. The app only goes online once, to activate a Pro licence.
- Secrets auto-wiped: API keys, tokens and passwords are masked and deleted after 60 seconds.
- Password managers respected: copies marked private (KeePass, 1Password, Bitwarden…) are never recorded.
- Secure delete & incognito: expired history is zeroed on disk, and you can pause capture any time.
Free forever. Pro when you're hooked.
One-time payment. No subscription. Lifetime 1.x updates.

Get PeekyClipboard
Free for Windows 10 & 11. One small installer. No admin rights, nothing else to download.
- Run
PeekyClipboard-Setup.exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. New apps see this until they build a reputation. - Click Install. It takes a few seconds and needs no admin rights. Leave "Start when I sign in" ticked so it's always ready.
- Push your mouse to the right edge of the screen, or press Ctrl+Alt+V. That's it!
Uninstalling is just as easy: Settings → Apps → Installed apps → PeekyClipboard → Uninstall. It asks whether to keep or delete your history.
A Microsoft Store edition is on the way.
Questions, answered.
Is PeekyClipboard really free?
Yes. The Free edition has no time limit, no ads and no nags. It includes the drawer, search, keyboard mode, images, 25 pins, smart cards and secret protection. Pro is an optional one-time upgrade for power users.
Does it send my clipboard anywhere?
No. Your history is stored only on your PC in %LOCALAPPDATA%\PeekyClipboard. There is no account, no cloud sync and no analytics. The only network call is a one-time licence activation if you buy Pro.
What about passwords I copy?
Copies that password managers mark as private are never recorded. Anything that still looks like a secret (API keys, tokens, private keys, passwords, connection strings) is masked on the card and deleted automatically after 60 seconds unless you pin it.
How is it different from Windows' Win+V?
Win+V keeps 25 items and loses unpinned ones on restart. PeekyClipboard keeps 24 hours of history (up to 90 days on Pro) of text, links, code and images. It survives restarts, opens from the screen edge, searches instantly, pins forever, recognises code and protects secrets.
Which Windows versions are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit. The download is a single self-contained .exe, so there's nothing else to install.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is it safe?
That SmartScreen message appears for new apps that haven't built a download reputation yet. Click More info → Run anyway. A signed Microsoft Store edition is on the way.
How do I activate Pro, and can I move it to a new PC?
After buying you'll get a licence key by email. Open Settings & Pro (⚙ in the app window, or the tray menu), paste it and click Activate. To move it, click Remove from this PC, then activate the same key on the new one.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time payment with lifetime 1.x updates. If it isn't right for you, ask for a refund within 14 days.
How do I uninstall?
Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs), find PeekyClipboard and click Uninstall. It closes the app, removes it from start-up, and asks whether to also delete your clipboard history.
Does it work with multiple monitors?
Yes. The drawer docks to the right edge of your main monitor, and it hides automatically while you play full-screen games, watch videos or present.
