It is distributed free via the Microsoft Store and GitHub.
Windows users who want an always-on clipboard history tool, built as an open-source, free desktop utility distributed through the Microsoft Store.
Unlimited clipboard history covering text (including RTF), images, HTML, and files, with quick search and filtering, tagging, multi-select, per-app filters to exclude specific applications, favorite/pin-style marking of clips that survives history cleanup, drag-and-drop of stored items into other apps, and manual export/import backup of clip data.
Rememory runs in the background on Windows, monitoring the system clipboard and saving each copied item to a local database on the device; a pop-up window (opened via a keyboard shortcut) lets users browse, search, tag, edit, and re-paste past clips, or exclude specific source apps from being tracked. All data stays local — the app does not sync to a server or other devices.
