## What it is
Ditto is a clipboard manager for Windows that extends the standard clipboard by saving every copied item into a searchable database. Users can later browse and re-paste any previously copied text, images, or other content.

## Use cases
- keep a history of everything I copy on Windows
- retrieve text I copied an hour ago
- paste previously copied snippets across apps
- search my clipboard history
- sync clipboard between machines
- stop losing copied content when the clipboard is overwritten

## When to choose
- you copy and paste frequently on Windows and lose overwritten clipboard content
- you want a free, open-source clipboard history with search
- you need to re-paste older items like text or images

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux and need a native clipboard manager
- you only occasionally copy items and don't need history
- you need cloud-first clipboard sync as the primary feature

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, windows, desktop-applications
- platform: windows
- tags: clipboard-manager, clipboard-history, paste-history, desktop
