CopyTrack: Lightweight Clipboard Logger for Windows

Keeping track of everything you copy during the day can be surprisingly useful, whether you’re a developer, writer, or student. That’s why I created CopyTrack, a minimal and lightweight clipboard logger that automatically records every piece of text you copy — silently and without distractions.

What is CopyTrack?
CopyTrack runs quietly in the background and logs every copied text snippet into a plain text file named CopyTrack.txt on your desktop. No interface, no pop-ups, no setup — just copy and go.

Key Features
Automatically logs all copied text with timestamps

Stores clipboard history in an easy-to-access .txt file on your desktop

Runs silently in the background

Starts automatically with Windows

No configuration or setup needed

Why I Built It
Sometimes I needed to keep a history of what I copied, but existing clipboard managers felt too heavy or distracting. CopyTrack is my solution: simple, reliable, and out of the way.

How to Get It
To download CopyTrack, visit the GitHub Releases page at:
https://github.com/Loki3737/loki/releases/tag/1.0

After downloading the setup file, simply run it to install CopyTrack. The program will start running quietly in the background and create a CopyTrack.txt file on your desktop where it saves your clipboard history automatically.
