Engineered to Feel Premium

Keyboard Navigation & Quick Paste

Move through your clipboard history using arrow keys and press Enter to paste instantly. No mouse needed. Works with any app in Linux.

Native Wayland & X11 Support

Full support for both display servers. Uses a Linux uinput virtual keyboard device for Wayland paste injection, with stable XTest fallback on X11.

Smart Clipboard De-duplication

Copying the same text twice moves it to the top — not a duplicate. Your list stays clean and your SQLite database stays lean.

Image Clipboard Previews

Automatically detects copied images, decodes PNG buffers, and renders thumbnail previews directly inside the clipboard history feed.

Emoji Grid Picker for Linux

A built-in emoji picker with category tabs, live search, and LRU frequency tracking so your favourites always appear first.

100% Local — Your Data Stays Private

Zero telemetry. Zero cloud. All clipboard items are stored locally in a SQLite database inside ~/.config/lincb.ople.in/ on your device only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Linux Clipboard History?

Linux Clipboard History (lincb) is a free, open-source clipboard manager for Linux. It tracks everything you copy — text, images, and emojis — and lets you recall any item instantly via a global hotkey (Super+V). It supports X11 and Wayland and works on GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and more.

How do I install Linux Clipboard History?

Run this single command in your terminal: curl -sS https://lincb.ople.in/install.sh | bash. It automatically detects your Linux distribution, downloads the matching pre-built package (.deb, .pkg.tar.zst, .rpm, or AppImage), configures udev permissions, and sets up desktop shortcuts automatically.

Does it work on Wayland (GNOME, KDE)?

Yes. Linux Clipboard uses a /dev/uinput virtual keyboard device to inject paste keystrokes on Wayland compositors. It has been tested and confirmed working on GNOME Wayland (Ubuntu), KDE Plasma Wayland, XFCE, and Arch Linux.

Is Linux Clipboard free and open source?

Yes, completely. Linux Clipboard is released under the MIT License. All source code lives on GitHub. Contributions, bug reports, and pull requests are actively welcome.

Is my clipboard data sent anywhere?

No. Every clipboard item stays completely local. Data is written to a SQLite database at ~/.config/lincb.ople.in/. There is zero telemetry, zero analytics, and zero network access by the application.

Which Linux distros are supported?

Linux Clipboard has been tested on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux. It should work on any systemd-based Linux distro that supports Rust, udev rules, and either X11 or Wayland. Debian, Mint, openSUSE, and Manjaro are expected to work too.
