Get Started

You’ll learn how to install Blue Synergy and get it running in the background so it starts capturing your clipboard right away. This takes about 2 minutes.

Early Access Blue Synergy is currently in Early Access. Download is available to early access members — request access at blue-synergy.com.

Request early access

Go to blue-synergy.com and request early access. You will receive a personal download link by email once your request is approved.

The download is a single .exe installer — no account needed beyond the access request.

Windows SmartScreen: On first run, Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” warning. Click More info → Run anyway. This is expected for early releases.

Install

Run the installer. It installs silently — no dialogs, no reboot needed.

Blue Synergy is installed to %LocalAppData%\blue-synergy\ by default.

First launch

On first launch you have to set some basic settings before you begin.

Initial Setup

Security Setup

Blue Synergy opens with a startup overlay showing a progress bar while it initializes. This takes a few seconds on first run.

Once fully loaded, the app appears in your system tray (notification area, bottom-right). The main window opens automatically on first launch.

Your first copy

Switch to Blue Synergy and check the Clips workspace — if you’ve copied anything recently, it may already be there. Otherwise, copy some text with Ctrl+C in any application and it will appear immediately.

What’s next

  • Clips — Find and paste from your clipboard history
  • Triggers — Create your first text expansion
  • Captures — Capture a region of your screen
