Where Does Ditto Store Clipboard History?

Ditto keeps its clipboard database in %APPDATA%\Ditto as Ditto.db, portable when moved beside the exe.

Last updated

Ditto records every copy into a SQLite database called Ditto.db in its AppData folder. Years of clips accumulate there, searchable instantly from the hotkey.

The database is ordinary SQLite, so it copies, backs up and even opens in database browsers. Portable mode moves it beside the executable, which suits USB stick carry.

Where Ditto stores this, by platform

Windows
%APPDATA%\Ditto\Ditto.db

Full clipboard history database. Settings live in Ditto.Settings beside it. Portable installs keep both next to Ditto.exe instead.
