How the free trial works
Try everything before you pay. No credit card, no account, no sign-up.
5 days, fully unlocked
The trial starts automatically the first time you launch ClipBook and runs for 5 days. Every feature is available — nothing is held back for paying users.
No card, no account
Download the app and start using it. There's nothing to sign up for, no email to hand over, and no card on file — so there is nothing to cancel when the trial ends.
Your history stays yours
When the trial ends, ClipBook stops opening your clipboard history until you activate a license. Your history is not deleted and never leaves your Mac — activate and it's all still there.
After the trial it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription — with lifetime updates, lifetime support and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Bought a license? Here's how to activate your license key.
