In their own words
Clipman
Clipman is a free, open-source clipboard manager for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad. Its history can be searched, named, grouped, pinned, edited, and pasted without opening the app first. It handles text, links, formatting, images, and files, with optional views for links and rich text. The app is designed for keyboard and screen-reader use, with predictable keyboard behavior and concise spoken feedback. History can stay on a device, use a shared folder, or be stored on an optional self-hosted Clipman Server. Windows and Mac can synchronize through a cloud-synced folder or network share; the server supports encrypted synchronization across supported platforms. Privacy controls include history encryption, excluding selected apps, and honoring clipboard privacy signals. Quick Paste provides global hotkeys and templates, while Quick Clip saves an entry directly. A command-line tool can manage server-backed text history on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The project releases Clipman under the MIT License.
