Clipmer

clipmer.app · Install · Changelog

A secrets-aware clipboard manager for Linux. Your clipboard fills up with SSH commands, API keys, and connection strings — Clipmer lets you mask them before a screen share, annotate them with notes, and file them into folders, all from a tray-based popup that never leaves your machine.

Ubuntu · GNOME · Wayland

Features

• Masked entries — stay copyable, but unreadable on screen
• Folders for grouping SSH commands, credentials, and snippets
• Clipboard history up to 200 entries, deduplicated
• Pinned items that survive restarts
• Instant search across content and notes
• Inline notes attached to any entry
• Auto-paste on Wayland via GNOME Shell extension
• Keyboard-first navigation (arrows, Enter, Esc, Tab)
• Dark & light themes with custom accent color
• Adjustable font size (10–18px)
• Minimal view — distraction-free floating UI
• Global shortcut Ctrl+Shift+D (configurable)
