Clipboard history launcher with OCR search

Updated September 2026 · Latest v2.4.5 · GitHub Release · Changelog

Wox includes a clipboard history launcher. Recent text and images stay searchable from the same window you use to open apps.

What it is

Type cb to browse history. Filter by text, a title, or OCR text from copied pictures. Favorites, copy, and paste back into the active app are built in — including pasting images and emoji.

You do not need a separate clipboard manager for everyday reuse.

Why use it in a launcher

Clipboard history is a daily action. Keeping it next to app search, file search, and the action panel means you stay on the keyboard instead of switching tools.

Image OCR search shipped in Wox v2.4.2. Pasting clipboard images and emoji into the active window shipped in v2.4.3.

How to use it

Setup, queries, actions, and retention settings are in the Clipboard plugin guide.
