I'm looking for an alternative to Clipboard History since it has a limit on the amount of text it can store (11kb per text copied)

It has an ignore list option (to prevent storing passwords, credit card info, etc.), and I couldn't find that in any other program (at least not in their description/features lists)

I'd also like it to have an option to auto-clear the history on exit but this is optional.

Thank you in advance :)

Ditto can do all of this though preventing passwords and credit card info would be tricky, there's room for scripting and regex in advanced options. https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto

Thank you, that works!

For reference the regex match is referring to the whole text so I'm doing .*(keyword1|keyword2|etc.).*
