About Copy Q
CopyQ is an open source clipboard manager for Linux, Windows, and macOS 13 and later. It monitors the system clipboard and saves copied content, including text, HTML, and images, in customizable tabs. Saved entries can be copied or pasted into any application.
The tool supports sorting, editing, and filtering history items, as well as adding notes and tags. Users can set system-wide keyboard shortcuts, run custom commands, and use a command-line interface and scripting. Clipboard content copied from specified windows or containing specified text can be ignored. Installation methods differ by operating system. The official Ubuntu PPA is no longer maintained, and macOS support depends mainly on the Qt version.
