A fast clipboard history manager for Linux. Your copies stay on your machine — no cloud, no telemetry, no account.
Your clipboard already handles passwords, API keys, and private snippets. A manager for it should take that seriously.
Ctrl+C is now a permanent record. Text, code, links, snippets — up to 200 entries, deduplicated, still here after reboot.
Sort SSH commands, API tokens, connection strings into named folders. Pick a folder from the filter pill and the list narrows to just that set — the rest of your history stays out of the way.
Start typing — results filter as you go. Search content or notes, no lag even at 200 entries. If you copied it, you'll find it.
Attach a note to any entry — label that token as "staging API key" so future-you knows what it's for. Notes are fully searchable.
Marking an entry as hidden masks it as ••••••••• in the list — safe to leave open during a screen-share or pair session. Click-to-copy still pastes the real content; search skips hidden entries so they can't be surfaced by accident.
Open Clipmer, pick an entry, press Enter — it's pasted into whatever app you were just in. Works on Wayland. No xdotool hacks.
Open with one shortcut, navigate with arrows, Enter to paste, Esc to dismiss. Tab switches search modes. Your hands stay on the keys.
Light or dark. Any accent color. Clipmer should look like it belongs on your machine — not like a web app in an Electron wrapper.
Slide from 10 to 18px. The whole UI scales proportionally — padding, icons, row heights. Not just the text.
Minimal mode hides everything but the entries. Toggle it with one shortcut when you need to focus.
Install it once. You'll forget it's there — until the day you need a copy from an hour ago.
Nothing to learn
Clipmer runs in your tray and watches the system clipboard. Every Ctrl+C is saved locally — text, code, snippets. You don't change your workflow.
One shortcut, full history
Clipmer pops up instantly. Start typing any word you remember from the copy — it filters as you type. Search content or notes.
Back where you were
Clipmer disappears and the text lands in the app you came from. No alt-tab, no reformat, no rewrite. You're back in flow.
Free version has everything most people need. Pro unlocks the rest. Both run entirely offline — your clipboard stays on your machine.
Ubuntu 20.04+ / Fedora 30+ · GNOME · X11 or Wayland
