Before reporting a problem
Please include your Windows version, Cubby version, the application you were copying from and pasting into, and the exact steps that triggered the issue. For remote-session problems, include the remote tool and whether keyboard-shortcut forwarding was enabled.
Never paste passwords, private logs, access tokens, customer data, or other sensitive clipboard contents into a public GitHub issue. A short, invented example that reproduces the behavior is usually best.
Common questions
How do I open Cubby?
Cubby is designed to use Win + V as its primary shortcut. You can release or change that shortcut in Settings. A remote-session trigger is also available for workflows where the remote client intercepts Windows shortcuts.
What happened to emoji and GIFs?
Cubby focuses on clipboard history. Windows still provides emoji, GIF, kaomoji, and symbol pickers with Win + .
Does selecting an item paste it automatically?
Yes. Clicking an item or pressing Enter pastes it into the previously focused application. Use Shift + Enter when you want plain text. Remote tools can impose their own restrictions, so Cubby may restore the synchronized clipboard and ask for a final paste action in a supported remote workflow.
Why does a remote session behave differently?
RDP and third-party remote tools decide whether Windows shortcuts and clipboard updates stay local or are forwarded to the remote PC. Cubby includes a remote-session workflow for this reason, but the correct setup depends on the remote client.
Where is my history stored?
On your Windows PC, in Cubby’s local application-data directory. The current early build does not encrypt this local history, so review the privacy page before using Cubby with sensitive data.
Is Cubby free?
Yes. Cubby is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license.
System requirements

Early-release expectations
Cubby is under active development and is not yet presented as a fully hardened general release. Clipboard compatibility varies between applications, and richer formats beyond text and images are still being expanded. Check the release notes for the current supported behavior.
