What it does

Two shortcuts. That's the whole app.

It lives in your menu bar, system tray or top bar and starts when you log in. Turn on either tool, or both.

Clipboard history

Press Super+Shift+F to open your history.

Everything you copied, newest first, one search away. Type to search it, then press Enter to copy the top match back.

  • Text, links and images
  • Favorites and filters
  • Skips what password managers mark as secret
  • Pause capture any time
Voice dictation

Press Super+Shift+D, speak, press it again.

Your words are ready to paste in any app, and saved in your history too.

  • Free on-device Whisper, audio never leaves your computer
  • English, or multilingual with automatic detection
  • Or use your own OpenAI, Groq or compatible API
  • Turn it off if you only want the clipboard
Better with the extension

Your browser and every other app, one history.

Already use the Clipboard+ extension? Desktop fills in everything the browser can't see. Sign in to both with the same account, and whatever you copy anywhere shows up in both.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need a Clipboard+ account?

No. Clipboard+ for desktop works fully on its own: your history stays on your computer, offline. Sign in only if you want it synced with the extension, the web app and your other computers.

What syncs?

Text and links. Copied images stay on the computer they came from, and dictation audio is never uploaded.

Is it free?

Yes. On-device transcription costs nothing. Only if you choose an external transcription service such as OpenAI or Groq might that service charge you.

Which systems are supported?

Macs with Apple silicon, 64-bit Windows, and 64-bit Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and openSUSE, including GNOME on Wayland). Linux is the most tested; macOS and Windows support is newer. An Intel Mac can install from source with the terminal command instead.

How do I remove it?

Choose Quit from its icon and turn off Open at Login in the same menu. For a full removal, email support@apercallc.com and we'll walk you through it.
