Never lose what you copied! ClipStack remembers everything you copy so you can find it later.

The Problem: System clipboard only remembers ONE thing

• Copy something new = lose the old
• No search, no history
• Accidentally overwrite important data
• Can't go back to something you copied hours ago

The Solution: ClipStack remembers everything

• Unlimited clipboard history
• Search through past copies
• Pin important items
• Auto-categorizes content
• Persists across reboots
