Clipvault is a clipboard history manager for Wayland, inspired by cliphist.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Save history: clipboard entries are stored in a local database
- Recall history: recall saved entries using any picker you like (e.g. dmenu, rofi, wofi, etc.)
- Simple: no builtin picker, only pipes – keep it simple (stupid)
- Any data: support for text, images and any other binary data
- Preservation: entries are preserved byte-for-byte, including leading/trailing whitespace
- No silent failures: invalid arguments cause errors, and are also written to log files
- Relative positions: support for getting/deleting items by relative position in the saved history
- Entry size limits: configurable minimum and maximum size for stored entries
- Entry age limit: configurable max age for entries – automatically remove old clipboard entries
- Informative previews: previews for binary data support many more types e.g. video/mp4, application/pdf, etc.
