Clipd 2.0.1 for Windows

Clipd 2.0 for Windows

Windows Native Port

Full Windows support built from the ground up — native clipboard monitoring, Win32 image handling (DIB/PNG/JPEG/BMP/GIF), and a frameless always-on-top popup that feels at home on Windows.

Hotkey & Popup

• Default global hotkey Win+J (customizable) summons the popup at your cursor position
• Smart toggle: pressing Win+J again closes it; clicking outside auto-closes when "Hide on focus loss" is on
• Auto-paste on select — sends Ctrl+V to the previously focused window after you pick an item

System Tray & Taskbar

• Tray icon with right-click menu (Show, Toggle, Quit)
• Named-pipe IPC — control clipd from the terminal with clipd stop, clipd quit, clipd toggle
• "Show in taskbar" setting: switch between a floating popup and a normal taskbar window on the fly
• Minimises to taskbar after paste (taskbar mode)

History & Pinned Items

• New: "Show pinned items in history" toggle in Settings — when off, pinned items stay exclusively in the Pinned tab and don't appear in the All tab
• Dedicated Pinned tab always available regardless of the toggle

Files & Export

• Save any history item to file (text or image) with a configurable save folder
• Items sorted into text/ and images/ subfolders automatically
• Export all to ZIP — bundle every history item into one archive in one click

Appearance & Behaviour Settings

• Theme (Auto / Dark / Light)
• Launch at screen top, auto-start on login, window frame mode
• Configurable max history size and max image size

Build

• Executable embeds proper file/product version metadata (visible in Windows file properties)

clipd v0.1.0

A lightweight (~13 MB) clipboard-history manager for X11 Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Pop!_OS), inspired by the Windows + V panel. Text and image history, pinning, search, a global hotkey, and a full CLI — built with Go + Wails v2 and a vanilla-TypeScript frontend.

✨ Highlights

• Text & image history with thumbnails, SHA-256 de-duplication, and a configurable size cap (default 200 items)
• Search + filters — live substring search and All / Text / Images / Pinned chips
• Click / Enter to paste — copies the item and auto-pastes it into your previous app via synthesised Ctrl+V; a separate Copy action just copies without closing
• Pin / unpin, single-item delete, and themed confirmation dialogs for delete & clear
• Global Super+V hotkey and a full CLI: clipd start | toggle | show | hide | quit | restart
• Single-instance control over a Unix socket — bind clipd toggle to any key (great when the X11 grab can't, e.g. under WSL)
• Custom macOS-style title bar; runs as a normal taskbar window (default) or a floating always-on-top popup
• System tray, auto-start on login, light/dark/auto theme
• Pure-Go SQLite (WAL) at ~/.local/share/clipd/clipd.db

📦 Install (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt install ./clipd_0.1.0_amd64.deb
clipd start

Runtime deps (libgtk-3-0, libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0, libayatana-appindicator3-1, libx11-6, xclip, xdotool) are pulled in automatically. Then open the panel with Super+V or clipd toggle.

⚠️ Known limitations

• Wayland: global hotkey, tray, and background capture are disabled — use clipd toggle (clipd detects the session and won't hard-fail).
• WSL2/WSLg: builds and runs, but the global hotkey, tray, and Windows-screenshot image capture don't work (WSLg doesn't pass images to X11). Use it for development; do real QA on a native X11 desktop.
• Auto-paste needs xdotool and targets X11/XWayland apps.
