Panox is a graphical clipboard manager designed specifically for Wayland compositors. It provides a modern interface for accessing previously copied text and images, with an emphasis on convenient navigation and visual presentation.
The application uses GTK 4 and libadwaita, presenting clipboard history as a collection of cards. Its interface supports smooth animations and can be positioned at different edges of the display.
Panox distinguishes between ordinary clipboard history and favourite items. Daily entries are stored temporarily and cleared when the system restarts, while favourites are retained in persistent storage. This separation provides a convenient way to keep useful snippets without accumulating an indefinitely growing history of temporary material.
The interface organises copied content into three views: All, Favorites and Daily. Users can switch between these categories to find specific items or concentrate on material they have chosen to retain.
Panox is intended for wlroots-based Wayland compositors, including Sway and Hyprland. It uses layer-shell integration to display its interface as a desktop overlay rather than a conventional application window.
This is free and open source software.
