https://github.com/scubers/awesome-clipbus-pluginsgithub.comEverything your clipboard should do.
Available for macOS and Windows. Searchable history, content-aware cards, tags, CopyStack, and private end-to-end encrypted sync. Demos and shortcut examples below show macOS.
History & search
Find anything you've ever copied.
Every copy lands in a searchable history — full-text and fuzzy, filtered as you type. Narrow it with a compact filter syntax: type img, url, [tag:work] or [pin:] and press Tab to turn it into a chip.
- Full-text & fuzzy search, instantly
- Filter chips: item · pin · tag · index
- Quick type filters — TXT, IMG, URL, and more
Built-in intelligence
A clipboard that understands what you copy.
Six built-in detectors light up on their own — URL, color, JSON, QR, OCR, and file. Each renders an interactive card right under the item, with one-key actions (⌘1–9): copy, enlarge a QR, open a link. No setup.

Actions
Transform on the spot.
Press ⌘K and run any of 14 built-in actions on the selected item — Base64, URL and JSON encode/decode, MD5 / SHA-256 / SHA-512, generate a QR code, compress an image, or save it to a file. All from the keyboard.
- ⌘K to open the action palette
- Encode / decode / hash
- Compress images · save as file
Pinned
Keep your go-to clips one filter away.
Pin the commands, replies, and links you reach for every day (⌘P). Pinned clips are protected from cleanup and surface instantly with the [pin:] filter.
- ⌘P to pin
- Filter with [pin:]
- Never auto-cleaned
Keyboard-first
Summon, act, paste — never touch the mouse.
One global shortcut (⌘⇧V) brings Clipbus up over any app. New to the shortcuts? Just hold ⌘ and every action shows its key — ⌘↩ copy, ⌘T tag, ⌘E edit, ⌘P pin, ⌘K actions.
{"meta":{"name":"clipbus","version":1}}And the essentials
The details that add up.
CopyStack
Collect many clips in order, then paste them out one by one with ⌃⇧⌘A.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Carry your history between devices through a configured sync folder, with end-to-end encryption. Opt-in, Pro; macOS also supports iCloud Drive.
Private by design
Local-first, no account for local use, and per-app exclusion so password managers never get captured.
Programmable
Write plugins with detectors, renderers, and actions in Node + a web UI.
