In their own words

CCFinderSW

CCFinderSW is a free, open-source command-line tool that detects similar code pairs through token-based clone matching. It takes a source directory, a language, and an output file as command-line arguments. The default minimum clone-token threshold is 50 and can be changed with the -t argument. Output can use CCFinder, CCFinderX, CCFinderSW text, or JSON formats, and clone-pair results can be read by Gemini or CCFX. A comment rule file is required for the target language; a reserved-word list is optional but recommended. Without that list, the tool detects type 1 clones; with it, it detects type 1 and type 2 clones. It excludes pairs containing inserted or deleted sentences. The implementation is Java-only, and the project recommends Java 8 or later. Windows is the listed platform, with Windows 10 Pro named as its test environment. The repository offers a CCFinderSW-1.0.zip download and includes an MIT license for the project; bundled libraries use Apache License 2.0.

CopyPaste

CopyPaste is a free, local-first clipboard manager for Windows and macOS. It saves clipboard history for text, images, files, folders, links, audio and video, with previews tailored to the content. Full-text search, pins, custom labels and colors, and filters by content, category and item type help organize saved items; it also supports snippets and rich text. The project says history stays on the device, without cloud storage, servers, syncing, telemetry, analytics or accounts. CopyPaste works offline and excludes passwords and clipboard content from password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden. The standalone version checks for updates without sending user data. Windows requirements are Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11 on x64. On macOS, it requires Ventura 13.0 or later and has a universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel. Linux support ended after v2.11.0, and those builds receive no fixes, security updates or new features. CopyPaste is open source under GPL-3.0; redistributing it within another product requires separate terms.
