Hero: the Island and Shelf on a real Windows desktop — copy, search, paste

Your clipboard, wherever you are

Everything you copy, kept and organized

Every copy lands in your history with its type and the app it came from. Open the Library to browse by category, sort and group, and see a detailed preview of each clip.

Search · OCR

Search that reads your screenshots

Full-text search covers text, links, code and file names. Copied images are read with Windows OCR on your PC, so a word inside a screenshot is enough to find it again.

OCR runs offline, on-device
Quick Paste · Paste into last app

Paste without leaving your app

Quick Paste opens over whatever you're doing. Pick a clip and Celestash hands focus back to the app you were in and pastes it there. The same works from the Shelf and the Library.

Island · Shelf · Now Playing

Windows has no notch. So we drew one.

The Island sits at the top-center of your screen. When music or video is playing it becomes a media player. When nothing is playing, the Shelf rises into its place.

Questions, answered

Privacy, licensing and how Celestash works on Windows. Anything else, get in touch.

What is Celestash?

Celestash is a clipboard history app for Windows. It saves what you copy, makes it searchable, and gives you the Island, Shelf, Quick Paste and Library to reuse it. The Island also works as a media player for whatever is playing.

Where is my clipboard history stored?

On your PC, in a local database in your Windows user profile. Images and files are stored alongside it on the same disk.

Does Celestash upload what I copy?

Capture, search and OCR happen on your PC. Celestash connects to Polar to activate and validate your license key. [CONFIRM: full list of external connections]

How does OCR work?

When you copy an image, Celestash reads its text with the OCR engine built into Windows. It runs offline and uses the OCR languages installed on your PC.

Which media apps work with the Island?

Apps that report to Windows media controls, including Spotify, YouTube in your browser and local media players.

Where do I download Celestash?

From the Microsoft Store. It handles installation and updates, so there's no installer to download from this site.

How do device licenses work?

Each license key activates on 1, 2 or 3 PCs, depending on the plan. To move to a new PC, deactivate the old one in Settings and activate the key again.

How does launch pricing work?

Each plan has its own 50 launch spots. The first 50 customers on 1 Device pay $15, the first 50 on 2 Devices pay $25, and the first 50 on 3 Devices pay $35. After a plan's spots are gone, it moves to its regular price.

Can I get a refund?

[REFUND POLICY — to be confirmed]

What are the system requirements?

Windows. [MINIMUM WINDOWS VERSION]
