Clipmer v3.1.0

Clipboard history manager for Linux (Ubuntu/GNOME/Wayland)

Clipmer v3.0.5

New

• Hide entries for screen-share privacy. Each entry now has a Hide / Unhide toggle in the ⋯ menu. Hidden entries render as a monospace bullet mask (••••••••••) in the list and their notes lock until unhidden, so you can leave Clipmer open during a pair session or demo without exposing passwords, tokens, or anything else you marked. Click-to-copy still puts the real content on the clipboard. Hidden entries are excluded from search so a query like "pass" can't accidentally surface a masked one as a result. Free for everyone.

Clipmer v3.0.4

Changed

• Clipmer is now text-only. Image clipboard history has been removed — copying an image no longer creates an entry, and the popup only tracks text. This is what finally fixes the runaway CPU and memory some of you hit: re-encoding clipboard images on every poll was the root of it, and there's no clean way around that on Linux. The trade-off is keeping resource use flat no matter what's on your clipboard, plus a much smaller, faster-loading history file. Any image entries already in your history will disappear after upgrading.

Clipmer v3.0.3

Performance

• Quieter in the background. Every external clipboard event was rebuilding the history list — even with the popup hidden — and decoding any visible image entries' base64 data into pixel bitmaps. With many image entries in history, that produced steady CPU and memory pressure while you were doing other things. Renders now wait until the window is actually visible; data still updates underneath, and the catch-up render happens once on open.

Clipmer v3.0.2

Performance

• Snappier popup with large histories. The list now renders 25 entries at a time and reveals more on demand — either by clicking the dashed "Load more" row at the bottom or pressing the down arrow once it's keyboard-selected. The page resets when the window opens or you change search/filter, but holds across background clipboard events so a copy elsewhere doesn't dump you back to page 1 mid-browse.
• Smoother arrow-key navigation. Selection changes used to tear down and rebuild every visible row, which at keyboard auto-repeat queued faster than it could drain. Selection now just toggles a CSS class on the two affected rows — feels as smooth as mouse scrolling.
• Stable entry timestamps. "37s ago" and friends no longer drift while you're looking at them; they freeze to the moment the window appeared and refresh next time you reopen it.

Fixes

• Settings version label stays in sync now. The "Clipmer vX.Y.Z" line under Settings → License was hard-coded in HTML and silently rotted each release (3.0.1 still showed v3.0.0). It now reads from app.getVersion() and updates automatically.

Clipmer v3.0.1

Fixes

• Launch crash on Linux. chrome-sandbox is now installed with root:root mode 4755 via the .deb / .rpm post-install hook, so the renderer no longer SIGTRAPs on startup. AppImage launches detect the runtime and fall back to --no-sandbox, since AppImages mount on a nosuid filesystem.
• Memory and CPU leak when an image sits on the clipboard. The polling loop was allocating megabytes of base64 every 500 ms — even when the image hadn't changed — pinning V8's heap and burning ~28 % CPU on an idle clipboard manager. Dedup now runs against a small SHA-1 hash, and the megabyte-scale base64 only happens when the image actually changes.

New

• .rpm package. Fedora, RHEL, Rocky, AlmaLinux, and openSUSE users now have a native install option alongside .deb and AppImage.
• Click a folder to filter. Clicking a folder row in the folders view jumps back to the main list filtered to that folder — matching the affordance the cursor was already implying.
• Filter button moved next to search. Reclaims a row of vertical space. The button shows a plain icon when "All" is selected, and just the count of items when a folder filter is active.
• Bubble-to-top on in-app copy. Picking an entry from inside Clipmer now refreshes its position to the top of the list, the same way an external duplicate copy already did.

Tier change

• Auto-paste is now a free feature. No license required.
