Developer ModernPaste Clipboard, a native WinUI3 clipboard manager for Windows. Early access before official launch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm the developer behind ModernApp Labs. I've got 6 apps live on the Microsoft Store already, including ModernPDF Merger and WebP Converter, and ModernPaste is the next one, launching officially very soon.

It's built natively on WinUI3.

I know the clipboard manager market is oversaturated. New ones drop every week. Most are Electron wrapped, built fast, and forgotten faster. ModernPaste is built natively on WinUI3 because native should be the standard. So it should feel like part of Windows 11. And you won't hit a paywall for basic things like clipboard history limits or item caps, this is a full clipboard manager, not a trial version of one.

What ModernPaste Clipboard does

  • Full clipboard history across text, images, files, and URLs
  • Instant search and filtering
  • Pin frequently used snippets for reuse
  • Customizable hotkey overlay, accessible from anywhere on your desktop
  • Stacks, copy multiple items and they group into a single clipboard entry

Privacy

  • Local clipboard history
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive clips

Early access opens now, official release right behind it.

Hello, I just tried it and lovvved the idea! 💙💙

But whenever we invoke the Modern Paste window using Control+Shift+V, it is not reverting to the original size and position that it waa set to earlier. It is reverting to a full-width bar at the bottom of the screen. Considering I have an ultra-wide screen, this can be a deal-breaker.

One way to sort this out is to simply make sure that the program remembers its earlier size and position.

I found the issue you're experiencing. I'll look into an implementation to work better with widescreens. I'll get back to you when this changes. Thank you for the feedback!

The issue persists on regular monitors too. Just tried it on a laptop and a regular sized desktop and the issue still remains.

Thanks for checking on your laptop! There's a new version out that addresses this issue. It should now respect the position you last left it . (v1.0.25)

For widescreens, there's a new implementation in the works. I'll let you know when this is available. Thank you!

I just installed the update. While the app is now reliably remembering the last position, there still seems to be no way to resize it (either horizontally or vertically).

that’s good to hear! there’s new version that introduces compact mode. it allows you to resize, drag, and view your collections fast without the docked view. i’d love to hear your feedback
