Ubuntu Clipboard Manager

Project Overview

Ubuntu Clipboard Manager is a Linux-native clipboard management application designed to enhance productivity by providing a robust, persistent history of your clipboard interactions. Built using Electron and React, it bridges the gap between web technologies and native system integration, offering a seamless experience for Ubuntu and Debian-based systems.

Key Features

Real-Time Clipboard Monitoring

Automatically tracks text and image clipboard changes at the OS level, preventing duplicate entries to optimize storage and ensuring you never lose a copied item.

Persistent History & Storage

Stores your clipboard history locally using SQLite, allowing you to access previously copied content even after a system restart. The local-first approach ensures complete privacy and offline availability.

Global Shortcuts & Tray Integration

• System-wide Activation: Access your clipboard history instantly from any application using customizable global hotkeys.
• Tray Icon: Runs quietly in the background with a system tray icon for one-click access and minimal resource usage.

Privacy & Security

Designed with privacy in mind, the application offers options to exclude sensitive applications (like password managers) and allows for manual or automatic history clearing.
