About clipse

clipse is a clipboard manager with a terminal user interface. It keeps a history of what you copy and lets you browse it and paste earlier entries from a TUI rather than a graphical window, which suits keyboard-driven Linux desktops.

It is written in Go and is configurable. The project is active on GitHub with a changelog that users are asked to check when moving to a new release.

Strengths

  • Terminal interface that fits keyboard-driven setups
  • Configurable behaviour
  • Maintained changelog for release upgrades

Limitations

  • Unix only, no Windows or macOS app
  • Needs some setup to hook into a desktop
