About EcoPaste
EcoPaste is a clipboard management tool that keeps a history of what you copy so you can find and paste earlier items. It is built with Tauri, which keeps the desktop app small compared with Electron-based alternatives.
The same app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the project is documented in both English and Chinese. It suits people who switch between operating systems and want one clipboard manager on all of them.
