Open Source Rust Clipboard Managers

ElegantClipboard is a cross-platform clipboard manager designed for fast, customizable, and private clipboard history management. Built with Rust and GPUI, it captures copied text, URLs, rich text, images, file paths, and native clipboard formats. Users can search, preview, organize, and reuse previous clipboard entries through a keyboard-accessible interface. Its history management supports favorites, pinned items, custom groups, duplicate handling, and editable notes. Advanced pasting tools allow format-specific pasting, text transformations, and sequential insertion of multiple entries. The application provides configurable source filtering, retention policies, and automatic backups. All clipboard data is stored locally, with options to restore previous databases. It targets Windows, macOS, and Linux, although platform integration varies.

QuickClipboard is a free, open-source clipboard manager for Windows and Android that automatically saves copied content for later retrieval. It records text, rich text, images, and files in a searchable clipboard history. Users can organize frequently used items into customizable groups and favorites. Quick-paste shortcuts simplify inserting previous clips, while OCR extracts text from images. Images can also be pinned as floating desktop references. WebDAV and local network synchronization help transfer clipboard content between devices. Additional tools include emoji collections, application filtering, customizable themes, and low-memory operation. Built with Tauri, Rust, and React, the original application has been superseded by its rewritten successor, QcClip.

TieZ Clipboard is a free, open-source clipboard manager designed to organize copied content and synchronize it across devices. Built with Tauri and Rust, it provides a lightweight interface with fast clipboard monitoring and retrieval. The application automatically captures plain text, formatted text, images, and file paths. Users can organize clipboard history with colored tags and locate previous items through advanced searching. Its privacy tools automatically mask sensitive information, including identification numbers and phone numbers, in previews. TieZ supports cross-device synchronization through WebDAV and MQTT, alongside local network file transfers. Additional productivity features include sequential pasting, emoji management, external editor integration, and customizable themes.

Ortu remembers what you copy so you can paste it again later — instantly, from the keyboard, and without sending anything to the cloud. Everything lives in a local SQLite database on your machine. It captures text, images, and files, auto-organizes clips into groups, masks detected secrets, and ships a power-user paste stack for pasting several items in sequence across apps.
