Where is my clipboard data stored?

All snippets and notes are stored strictly in your browser's local storage (LocalStorage). Nothing is sent to any remote server or external database.

How does password-protected sharing work without a database?

When you lock a shared link with a password, aClipboard encrypts your text using client-side Web Crypto API (AES-GCM 256-bit with PBKDF2 key derivation). The encrypted ciphertext is placed in the URL hash (#share=...), so the server never sees the plaintext or the password.

Does aClipboard work offline?

Yes! Because all core logic and storage operate locally inside your browser, aClipboard works seamlessly offline once loaded.

How can I transfer my notes to another device or browser?

You can use the 'Export Backup' button to download a clean JSON file of your snippets, and click 'Import Backup' on any other device or browser.

About the Tool

Why an in-browser, local-only clipboard manager is the modern choice for productivity and privacy.

aClipboard is a minimalist, lightning-fast web-based clipboard manager engineered for developers, researchers, writers, and multitaskers who demand high-speed text storage without cloud tracking, accounts, or privacy compromises.

Unlike traditional note apps or cloud pastebins, aClipboard operates completely on your device. Every snippet you paste, edit, or search lives in your browser's persistent sandbox (`localStorage`). No credentials, tracking cookies, or external databases are involved.

Instant Offline Accessibility Once loaded, aClipboard continues to work even if you disconnect from the internet. Your board is always ready to accept notes, search your clips, or format tags.
