Versions:
Relic is a clipboard manager for Windows, published by Relic, that falls into the productivity and security software category, combining clipboard history management with privacy-focused features. The current release is version 1.0.47, and the software has seen sixteen versions to date, indicating an active development history. Its core purpose is to capture everything a user copies on Windows and make that history fully searchable through on-device AI, including semantic search across the clipboard history and text recognition within screenshots, with all analysis performed locally and nothing sent to the cloud. This local processing approach makes it suitable for users who want intelligent search capabilities without exposing their data to external services. For users working across multiple machines, Relic provides synchronization between devices protected by end-to-end encryption, so clipboard contents remain private in transit. Security is a central focus: the software detects secrets such as passwords and API keys, masks them, respects password manager exclusion formats, and automatically wipes copied secrets from the clipboard after thirty seconds, reducing the risk of accidental exposure. Additional capabilities include encrypted share links for distributing items securely, offline QR sharing for transferring content without a network connection, and a vault for items the user wants to retain permanently rather than losing to clipboard rotation. Per-app capture blocking gives users control over which applications are allowed to contribute to the clipboard history, which is useful for excluding sensitive programs. Relic also ships with a command line tool that AI agents can use to read from and write to the local vault, extending its usefulness into automated and agent-assisted workflows. Typical use cases include recovering previously copied text, searching screenshots for embedded text, safely handling credentials, sharing snippets securely between devices or people, and integrating clipboard data into scriptable or AI-driven environments.
