This app sits in the tray/dock and records everything you copy (text, images, files) to a local, encrypted sqlite database. It has a built in web server which only listens to local connections, so the interface is actually through the browser.It has starring, Local RSS Feed, Is themeable, Full Search, Can Sync contents to controlc.com and more.

Can't install in Sandboxie. Some file not found VB.NET error.

Nice app though, But I don't know if 21MB memory usage is worthy for a collector like that.

Can not collect HTML texts in IE or Chrome

Can not collect richtext in Word or anything else

If copied some Excel data with CJK characters, VB.NET yields a System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException error.

It doesnt do any formatting at all. Toyed around with it, but it caused more issues than solved problems.
