About GPaste

GPaste is a clipboard manager for GNOME. A background daemon records what the user copies, and users can review and reuse earlier items through a GTK 4 interface, a GNOME Shell extension, or a command-line client. History persists across sessions, and several named histories can be kept, switched between, backed up, and deleted separately.

History can be stored as an XML file, a per-history SQLite database, or not at all. Encryption at rest is optional and uses libsodium. Items can be marked as passwords so they appear as a name rather than their contents and are left out of the plain-text history. The project is open source and listed as free. It is packaged for several Linux distributions, and installation details vary by distribution.

GPaste FAQ

Does GPaste encrypt the clipboard history?
Encryption at rest is available as an optional, libsodium-backed history. The passphrase can optionally be kept in the keyring.
How does GPaste handle copied passwords?
An item marked as a password is shown as a name instead of its contents and is excluded from the plain-text history. A timeout can be set, after which the clipboard stops handing out the item.
How can GPaste be installed?
On Fedora, Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu and openSUSE it is available from the system package manager, and it is also packaged in other distributions. After installation, the GNOME Shell extension must be enabled in the Extensions app. It can also be built from source using meson.
