Everyday copying

Keep useful clips within reach.

Search your history

Find something you copied earlier. Use search to locate a clip without returning to the original application.

Pin frequently used clips

Keep clips you need often together by pinning them. Select and copy them again whenever you need them.

Local to your computer

Your clipboard history stays on your device. History is held in memory by default; encrypted persistence is optional.

How it works

From an earlier clip to your next task.

  1. Open the application

    Download and extract the ZIP. Start Dolly Paste.exe on a Windows computer with .NET Framework 4.8.

  2. Copy as usual

    Dolly Paste keeps track of your clipboard history locally while the application is running.

  3. Find your clip

    Open Dolly Paste with Ctrl+Shift+V. Search your history or select a clip you have pinned.

  4. Copy it again

    Select the clip and press Enter to copy it. Then paste into the application you are using.

Storage & availability

Know what you are downloading.

You choose how history is kept

History is held in memory by default. An optional encrypted storage feature lets you persist it on disk.

A clipboard can contain sensitive information. Keep this in mind when copying clips or choosing to save your history.

A standalone Windows application

The download is a ZIP containing Dolly Paste.exe, LICENSE and README.txt. The README explains requirements and usage. The application has no installer and is not publisher-signed.

The source is available on GitHub under the MIT licence. The current download is intended for Windows 10/11 with .NET Framework 4.8.

Software for one concrete task.

Dolly Paste is an application built by Smet Software Solutions. The starting point: reuse previously copied information without having to find it in the original application each time.

The implementation brings together a keyboard shortcut, searchable history and a choice of local storage. It is an example of turning a defined need into desktop software.
