Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on a side project for a while now and finally got it published on GNOME Extensions. It’s called ClipMaster – a clipboard manager that I built because I was frustrated with the lack of a good, native clipboard solution on Linux.
Here’s what it does:
🗂️ Full Clipboard History Not just text – it handles images, files, and URLs too. Everything gets saved so you never lose that thing you copied 10 minutes ago.
🎨 Theme Support That Actually Works By default, it follows your system’s dark/light preference (Adwaita). But if you want something different, there’s Catppuccin, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, and more. The popup blends right in with your desktop.
🔐 Encrypted Storage Your clipboard history stays on your machine, encrypted by default. No cloud, no sync, just local and secure.
⌨️ Keyboard-First Design Press Super+V to open it. Start typing to search instantly. Use 1-9 for quick paste. Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to paste. It’s built for speed.
⭐ Favorites &amp; Custom Lists Mark items as favorites with Alt+F. Keep important snippets always accessible.
💻 Works on Both Wayland and X11 I made sure it works regardless of your display server. If you need image pasting from history, just install wl-clipboard (Wayland) or xclip (X11).
📊 Massive History Up to 5000 items if you need it. Configurable in settings.
It supports GNOME Shell 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49.
