Download CTRLVC 1.0.0 (152 MB) for free

CTRLVC runs quietly in the background and keeps a local history of everything you copy. Pin the pieces of text you need, tuck the rest away in a Postponed tab, and paste anything back with a single click in whatever window you're working in. The application stores up to 200 text entries, opens the history list next to the cursor with a customizable hotkey, and preserves the standard Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V workflow without interception. Pinned entries are protected from automatic cleanup, postponed entries remain available for later use, and the storage mechanism keeps the local history intact through sudden shutdowns or interrupted disk writes.
