The Clipboard Project (cb) is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform clipboard manager for the command line that supports text, files, and binary data with infinite named clipboards and history. It is written in C++, scriptable via pipes, and integrates with existing GUI clipboard systems.

Use cases

• copy and paste files from the terminal
• manage multiple named clipboards with history
• pipe command output to the clipboard in shell scripts
• replace xclip/wl-clipboard with a simpler CLI
• cut and paste files via the command line
• automate clipboard workflows in bash scripts

When to choose

• you want a fast, scriptable clipboard tool across Linux, macOS, and Windows
• you need multiple persistent clipboards with unlimited history
• you write shell scripts that copy text, files, or images

When to avoid

• you need a GUI clipboard manager with a visual history interface
• you require active development - the project is seeking a C++ maintainer
• you need mobile or web clipboard syncing
