About

Open the clipboard from anywhere by pressing ctrl+shift+space. It keeps a list of all copies and allows you to mark any text as secret to mask it.

Features

• Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS)
• Global hotkey support (Ctrl+Shift+Space)
• Native GUI using Fyne framework
• Clipboard history with timestamps
• Mark sensitive items as secret
• Clear all clipboard history
• Persistent storage using BoltDB
