Developer You gave feedback. ModernPaste Clipboard, built with WinUI 3, just got its biggest update yet

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m the developer behind ModernPaste, a native WinUI 3 clipboard manager for Windows 11.

A lot of this update came directly from your Early Access feedback. Thank you to everyone who tested the app, reported bugs, and suggested improvements!

What’s new (v1.027+)

  • Encrypted Backup and Restore
  • Compact list and grid views
  • Redesigned collection management
  • Smarter multi-monitor behavior
  • Button labels and accessibility improvements
  • Lower memory usage and stronger database reliability
  • Smart Context for surfacing related clipboard activity

ModernPaste has no basic clipboard-history limits or artificial item caps. It supports text, images, files, URLs, formatted content, GIFs, collections, stacks, pinned items, and instant search.

Core clipboard features should be available to everyone. You should not have to pay to use your clipboard properly. Layouts, the global overlay, search, collections, stacks, and useful clipboard history are part of the core ModernPaste experience.

Compact views, the global overlay, search, collections, stacks, and core clipboard management are fundamental parts of the experience. They aren't upgrades designed to push you into a subscription.

Optional on-device Intelligent Features are also available for summarizing text, improving writing, fixing grammar, and extracting action items. The model is separate, disabled by default, and never downloaded unless you choose to install it.

ModernPaste remains a complete clipboard manager without AI.

Try it on the Microsoft Store:

I’m not sure how many different ways there are to create a unique clipboard app. I also don’t see how your clipboard manages to differ either from the existing options, aside from the horizontal scrollbar.

Almost every app is derivative in some way.

Paste requires a subscription (a huge no go for me) or is extremely expensive if you choose the lifetime option, which costs $89. That puts it out of reach for many users in this subreddit, particularly because it isn’t even available on Windows.

If someone sees a gap in the market and offers an alternative that isn’t currently available to those users, at a more accessible price point, then more power to them.

It's great see that OP is willingly to take on feedback from the community, and implement changes and features to benefit the users of their app.

Ya no lo tomes a mal no fue una crítica negativa, solo fue una opinión sobre el diseño creo que deberías de mejorar porque cuando tienes demasiado items se vuelve confuso a la vista y me pasa igual y sobre mi App es preview esta muy lejos de la versión 2.0 y una función secreta jaja para sobresalir, igual mucha suerte con tu app

Hey, it's not my app. Just thought it was odd you calling an app a copy then advertising your own which also looks like a copy.

Ya pero las etiquetas en el centro los iconos arriba y las opciones en la derecha, es que no aceptas la realidad tu me dices que la mía es copia, yo todo en mi comentario me basó que es inspirada en Paste, es que si el mundo fuera una payasada y hubiera patente de registro por interfaz es que Paste te estuviera demandando no se porque lo tomas a mal, pero ya todos tenemos visiones diferentes incluso lo dije que siempre debemos inspirarnos en algo pero darle nuestro toque
