CopyQ
About CopyQ
CopyQ is an advanced, open-source clipboard manager released under the GPL-3.0 license for Windows, Linux and macOS. It monitors the system clipboard and stores entries in customizable tabs, so you can browse, filter and paste earlier content into any application.
On Windows it is available as a setup.exe installer, a portable ZIP package, and through Scoop and Chocolatey. After installation, run CopyQ.exe or start it from the Start menu; the history is opened from the system tray icon. It saves text, HTML, images and custom formats, supports editing, tags and notes, system-wide shortcuts with custom commands, a command-line interface, a scripting API and a Vim-like editor.
