Free & open source

PastePaw for Windows

The same clipboard workflow on Windows: unlimited history, smart search, instant paste — free and open source.

Windows 10 version 1709 or later

A separate app. The Windows version has its own codebase, built with Rust and Tauri. It shares no code — and no features — with the macOS app: no MCP server, no themes, no encrypted collections.

Install

With winget (recommended)

Windows Package Manager installs and updates it for you:

winget install XueshiQiao.PastePaw

Or download the installer

Grab the latest .exe or .msi from GitHub Releases and run it.

What it does

Unlimited history. Never lose anything you copied; search finds any clip instantly.
Free forever. No subscription, no limits, no catch.
Light on resources. Runs quietly in the background on very little memory and CPU.

Open source

The Windows app is fully open source — read the code, file issues, or send a patch: github.com/XueshiQiao/PastePaw.

Looking for the Mac app?

The macOS version is a separate, far more capable app: 29 theme looks, a local MCP server for AI agents, Touch ID–encrypted collections and 18 clip tools. See PastePaw for macOS.
