ClipTen Copy paste app for PC
Copy paste app for PC that copies multiple items with shortcuts
Copy ten things. Paste any of them with one shortcut. Never go back to copy the same thing twice.
Quick answer
Checked September 2026 by the founderClipTen is a copy paste app that remembers ten things at once, one on each number key. Copy each thing once, then paste it wherever it goes.
- SaveCtrl+C+1Your copy now lives on key 1.
- PasteCtrl+V+1Pasted, in any app, as often as you like.
Same for 2 to 0: ten copies, ready at once. On a Mac it is ⌘ instead of Ctrl.
The problem everyone has and nobody talks about
You are filling in a form. Name, email, phone, address, order number. Each one lives somewhere else — an old email, a note, another tab. So you copy one, switch, paste, switch back, copy the next, switch again. Five fields, ten trips.
It happens everywhere once you notice it. Sending the same reply to five people. Moving rows between two spreadsheets. Putting your address into three checkout pages. Pasting a link, a code and a name into a chat. Copying quotes into an assignment. Each trip is only a couple of seconds, but it breaks your concentration every single time, and you do it dozens of times a day.
The reason is old and simple: the clipboard holds one thing. It was built that way decades ago, and Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V never changed.
What ClipTen changes
It gives the clipboard ten pockets and puts them on keys your fingers already know. Copy the five things you need first, each onto its own number. Then go to the form and paste them in one after another without leaving the page.
- Copy your name, then press Ctrl + C + 1.
- Copy your email, then Ctrl + C + 2. Your phone number onto 3, your address onto 4.
- Open the form. Ctrl + V + 1, Ctrl + V + 2, Ctrl + V + 3, Ctrl + V + 4. Done.
Tomorrow they are still there. Slots are kept after you shut the laptop or restart, because they are saved to your disk, encrypted, instead of being held in memory. See it animated →

Why number keys and not a list
Most clipboard apps, including the one built into Windows (Win+V), keep a list of what you copied. That is great for finding something from an hour ago. It is slow for the thing you actually do all day, which is paste the same few items again and again: every paste means opening the list, finding the item, and picking it.
With a number there is nothing to open and nothing to look for. You put it on 3, so it is on 3. Your hands never leave the keyboard, and after a day you stop thinking about it.
