Motivation
Why not the existing clipboard managers?
There's regularly new clipboard managers popping up.
The attempt to make the best clipboard manager yet
I built a better clipboard app for MacOS because the current options didn't meet my needs! 🚀📋
I made my commercial clipboard manager open source because it's right
There's even a helpfully maintained list of them, that as of 2025-05-01, has 34 entries.
They're a little different, since our individual needs have fundamental, little differences.
Kopya gives you control over how and where you use it. That means that we can share the basics of a clipboard history engine, and then adapt it as a tool to your ways of working.
The others have set ways to be used, that you adapt to.
Does this apply to other things?
Yes! I've worked on an equivalent for your emails. It's also agent friendly.
