Klip keeps the native Win+V and Snipping Tool look and feel and removes the limits: unlimited clipboard history with real search, favorites, tabs and a colored emoji picker; a capture overlay with scrolling capture plus a full editor (pen, shapes, arrow, text, crop, blur/redact, OCR, emoji, rotate); and GIF/MP4 screen recording with system audio and microphones, live controls and a timeline media editor. Runs fully on your machine, no telemetry.
