Clippy is a lightweight terminal-based clipboard history manager written in Go.
It uses the Bubble Tea TUI framework to present copied content in a clean, keyboard-driven interface, with clipboard entries saved locally so previously copied text remains available across sessions.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Continuously monitors clipboard changes in real time.
- Saves clipboard history persistently using SQLite.
- Filters duplicate clipboard entries using SHA-256 hashing.
- Supports pinned items so important entries stay at the top of the history.
- Offers vim-style keyboard navigation.
- Copies any historical item back to the clipboard with a single keypress.
- Includes fuzzy search for filtering clipboard history.
- Works on Linux with X11 or Wayland using xclip or wl-clipboard.
- Stores clipboard data locally without transmitting content over the network.
