Features

Features for bringing clipboard history back into your workflow.

ReadyStow is not just a history list. It is a small Windows utility for finding, pinning, and reusing copied text, images, and file history.

Core flow

Bring back what you copied once.

Features are organized around copy, local history, search, and reuse.

Copy

Copy text, images, or files normally.

Stow

Keep history

ReadyStow stores history locally on your PC.

Search

Find needed items with search and pinning.

Paste back

Reuse

Put the selected item back on the clipboard.

Feature group

Capture what you copy

ReadyStow focuses on making text, image, and file clipboard history easier to find after it has moved out of immediate view.

Text history

Search copied text, URLs, and notes when you need them again.

Rich text / HTML / RTF

Beta tuning

Review and restore formatted text where the beta supports it.

Image history

Beta tuning

Treat screenshot and image clipboard entries as visible history items.

File / folder metadata

Keep useful file-copy context such as names and paths.

Feature group

Use it beside your work

ReadyStow is intended to feel like a small board you call up during work, not a destination that interrupts your flow.

Small board UI

Bring up history, search, and pinned entries in a lightweight surface.

Shortcut launch

Open the board when you need it, then return the selected history item to your work.

Tray behavior

Closing the window can hide the app while it keeps running as a tray utility.

Search and pinning

Find older items and keep the ones you reuse often easier to reach.

Feature group

Manage what should not linger

Because clipboard history can contain sensitive material, ReadyStow separates retention, deletion, and caution notes from the feature pitch.

History count settings

Adjust retained item counts so unnecessary history does not build up.

History deletion

Beta tuning

Delete all history, type-specific history, or individual entries where supported.

Backup / export

Planned

Future migration and review workflows are under consideration.

Local AI ideas

Exploring

Automatic classification is being considered, but clipboard history is not described as being sent to external AI services.

How beta features are described

Image history, rich text, backup, and local AI ideas may change during beta. This page avoids promising more than the current beta can support.
