RDP Clipboard Anchor

Get it from Microsoft Store

A powerful Win+V alternative

Rich format support (files, images, text) with automatic caching to prevent data loss during RDP disconnects. 100% offline and secure.

🛑 The RDP Anchor You Need

Have you ever copied a crucial snippet of code, an image, or a file on a remote server, only for your RDP session to suddenly freeze or drop? You restart the connection, go to paste locally, and... nothing. The clipboard is empty.

RDP Clipboard Anchor was born to solve this exact pain point. Running safely on your local machine, it instantly and automatically caches your cross-session copy events. When your Remote Desktop (RDP) connection hangs or crashes, your copied data doesn't disappear with it. It is safely "anchored" locally, ready to be pasted or dragged anywhere. Say goodbye to lost text and files caused by unstable RDP connections.

🚀 A Superior Win+V Alternative

Beyond saving your remote sessions, it has evolved into a powerhouse replacement for the native Windows clipboard history (Win+V). Built for developers and power users, it offers:

  • Rich Format Support Handles complex data types, images, and files far better than standard tools.
  • Seamless Drag & Drop Drag items straight from your history directly into other applications or folders.
  • Smart Cache Management Keep your storage optimized with customizable quotas and automated, intelligent cleanup logic.
  • Quick Actions Double-click items to instantly open or execute them.
  • Privacy First Pause monitoring with one click to protect sensitive operations.
  • Decoupled Iconography Native Windows file icons paired with source badges (Local vs. Remote) so you can instantly identify where copied content came from.
  • Native Experience A clean, unobtrusive WinUI 3 interface that perfectly matches Windows 11.

🛡️ 100% Offline & Secure

Your clipboard often contains highly sensitive information. This application operates entirely locally with no internet access and zero telemetry. Furthermore, it intelligently respects your privacy by automatically ignoring temporary clipboard events from major password managers (like 1Password) that use secure markers. What you copy stays strictly under your control.
