Clipboard history that shows the app each item came from
Clipaste keeps the history of the text you copy. Press Ctrl+Shift+9, find the item and press Enter to copy it again.
Features
- Source app: each item shows the app you copied it from, and the time.
- Search: start to type. The list filters by text and by app name.
- Pin: pinned items are never trimmed and stay when you clear the history.
- Keyboard first: arrow keys to select, Enter to copy, Delete to delete, Esc to hide.
- Links: open a copied link in your browser with one click.
- Light and dark theme: Clipaste follows your system theme.
- Tray menu: recent items, Pause Recording, Hide After Copy, Start at Login and History Size.
- Private: the history stays on your computer. Clipaste does not record secrets that password managers mark as concealed.
Wayland
Wayland does not let apps register global shortcuts. Open Settings > Keyboard > Custom Shortcuts and add a shortcut with the command clipaste --toggle.
The source app shows for X11 apps. Native Wayland apps do not share this information.
Upgrade from 1.x
Clipaste 2 is a full rewrite. It imports your 1.x history on the first start.
