Clapboard is a clipboard manager for Wayland written in Rust. It keeps a history of clipboard content, lets you paste earlier items from a menu, and supports reusable favorite snippets for text you need frequently.
It’s designed to work with dmenu-like launchers such as tofi, wofi, rofi, or dmenu, rather than being tied to a single menu system.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Records both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections.
- Opens clipboard history through a configurable dmenu-compatible launcher.
- Supports favorite snippets for commonly used strings.
- Works with all MIME types.
- Can share clipboard history across devices by syncing the Clapboard cache folder.
- Offers a simple TOML configuration file.
