Facts

Purpose
GPaste is a clipboard management system for GNOME with a daemon, a GTK 4 interface, a GNOME Shell extension and a command-line client.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Clipboard history
It keeps persistent history across sessions and supports multiple named histories that users can switch between, back up and delete independently.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Supported content
It stores plain text, rich text, HTML, images, URIs and colours; images are deduplicated by checksum.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Encryption
Optional libsodium-backed encryption protects history at rest, and the passphrase can optionally be kept in the keyring.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Storage
Storage options are an XML file, per-history SQLite databases, or no storage, and users can migrate between backends.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Password handling
Users can mark clipboard items as passwords so their contents are hidden from the history and clipboard access can expire after a timeout.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Search and editing
Users can search, merge and edit clipboard items from the graphical interface, GNOME Shell extension or CLI.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
GNOME integration
The GNOME Shell extension can switch, create, empty, back up and delete histories from its menu.imagination-land.org · 9 Oct 2026
Keyboard shortcuts
Global shortcuts use the XDG portal to work on Wayland and X11, and a preference can disable them all.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Distribution
Installation instructions cover Fedora, Arch Linux, Debian and Ubuntu, openSUSE, other distributions and building from source.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Compatibility limits
The current GTK advertises the password marker on X11 but cannot serve its value, so other clipboard managers may not recognize GPaste passwords there.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Support and contributions
The maintainer welcomes bug reports and patches, accepts translations through Weblate, and offers GitHub Sponsors and PayPal as ways to support development.github.com · 9 Oct 2026
Release target
GPaste 51.0 is the first stable GPaste 51 release and targets GNOME 51.imagination-land.org · 9 Oct 2026
