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.

Features

  • Paste stack — queue several clips and paste them one-by-one, in order, into any app.
  • Encryption at rest — detected secrets like API keys and tokens are masked and encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
  • Smart auto-grouping — a rule-based classifier sorts clips into URLs, code, JSON, secrets, and more.
  • Global keyboard shortcuts — summon a quick-paste popup over any app; every hotkey is rebindable.
  • Local-first & private — no account, no cloud, no telemetry; your clipboard never leaves your device.
  • Cross-platform & lightweight — a native single binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux; no bundled browser.
  • Multi-format capture — save text, images, and files to a searchable history, all stored locally.
  • Instant full-text search — an FTS5 index with type filters and group scoping finds any clip fast.
  • Flexible history retention — clear on reboot, keep forever, or set age/count limits; pins are always kept.
  • Snippets & transforms — reusable snippets plus "Copy as" transforms (JSON, Base64, URL-encode, case).

    Finally tried it last night and the auto-grouping actually caught me off guard — it just figured out what belonged together without me tagging anything. Local-only and no account is the cherry on top.
