24 alternatives to LucidClip
Hi HN, I’m Ethiel, the creator of LucidClip. LucidClip is a native clipboard manager built around a simple principle: your clipboard is sensitive data, and it should stay on your machine. Most clipboard tools either sync clipboard data to their servers, store everything indefinitely, or treat clipboard history as a secondary feature. LucidClip was designed differently from the start: • Clipboard history is stored locally (SQLite) • Clipboard content never leaves your device • No cloud dependency • Full retention control • App exclusions so sensitive apps are never recorded • Native macOS…

Hey HN, As a Software Engineer, I frequently copy and paste content. The fact that macOS clipboard buffer can keep only one item is very frustrating. It’s very annoying to copy → switch app → paste → switch app → copy → switch app → paste, and so on. Losing items I copied hours ago and having to find and copy them again is a waste of time. I tried many third-party clipboard managers like Alfred, Raycast, Paste, Maccy, etc. While great, they didn't fully meet my needs. As a developer, my requirements are: 1. Keyboard-centric operation to avoid using the mouse. I don’t want to waste my time…

Cliptop▲112Hi HN, I built Cliptop, a clipboard history app for macOS. Yes, it is another clipboard manager. I built it because I wanted one that felt fast from the keyboard, stayed local, handled more than plain text, and did not make me think too much about sensitive clipboard items. The main things I focused on: * Keyboard-first search and paste * Local clipboard history for text, links, code, images, files, colors, and design layers (e.g. Figma) * Quick actions like paste as plain text, color format conversion, image crop, background removal, and Markdown conversion * Pinboards for saving items and…

I’m Gopal, the guy behind QuickClip. I built this out of pure frustration. Copying items between my phone and laptop was very painful. Sending notes and links on WhatsApp. Saving random drafts I’d forget about. It was total waste of time. So I made QuickClip for myself first. A dead simple way to move text, links and images between devices instantly. No setup drama. No thinking. Fully encrypted I use it every day. Shipping it publicly now to see if anyone else has the same problem. Would honestly love to hear, how you move stuff between devices today, what’s broken or slow and what would…

Hey HN, Clipboard managers handle sensitive data such as passwords, personal notes, API keys, etc. To trust one you need to be sure that it doesn't send your data to third parties or store it on remote servers. With closed-source apps, you have to take the developer’s word for it. As a software engineer, I don't like that. Transparency matters. So, I decided to make my commercial clipboard manager open source. Anyone can inspect the source code, verify that data stays local and never leaves the user's device. Anyone can build the app from source and use it. At the same time, the app is still…

Hey HN I built a tool called ClipCapsule, a clipboard manager for Linux that's designed to be entirely keyboard-driven. Here’s what it does: Lets you recall and paste previous clipboard entries using just CTRL + SHIFT + 1~9. Keeps a history of everything you copy, in a local database. Moves selected items to the top of the clipboard stack (so CTRL + V pastes it). Built with Go + WailsJS for a fast native feel. No cloud. No telemetry. No fluff. Right now, you’ll need to run it with sudo or allow access to /dev/input/eventX for keyboard capture. We’re working on a proper daemon…
