Clipboard Manager is a lightweight terminal-based clipboard manager for Linux. It’s designed for tiling window manager setups such as Hyprland, but also supports Wayland and X11 environments.
The application keeps a local clipboard history, provides a ratatui-powered interface for selecting previous entries, and includes helpful detection features for common content types and sensitive data.
This is free and open source software.

- Includes an emoji and emoticon picker with category browsing and search.
