Mercury Clipboard is a privacy-first, lightweight clipboard manager extension for Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc). It is designed to be fast, secure, and respectful of your data.
- 🔒 Zero-Knowledge Privacy: Your data never leaves your device. Everything is stored locally.
- 🛡️ At-Rest Encryption: Clipboard history is stored encrypted (AES-GCM 256-bit) on your disk, preventing plain-text access from casual snooping or file inspection.
- 👻 Ghost Mode: Optional RAM-only mode. When you close the browser, your clipboard history vanishes forever.
- ⚡ Native Performance: Written in pure JavaScript (Vanilla JS). No heavy frameworks, no tracking scripts.
- 🍏 Mac Optimized: Native support for macOS shortcuts (
Option + V) and symbol handling (√). - 🎨 Shadow DOM UI: The interface is isolated from web pages, preventing CSS conflicts.
