clipboardy is a cross-platform JavaScript library for reading from and writing to the system clipboard, with async and sync APIs. It supports macOS, Windows, Linux (X11/Wayland), BSDs, Android via Termux, and modern browsers.
Use cases
- copy text to the system clipboard from a node script
- read clipboard contents in a cli tool
- paste clipboard text into an automated workflow
- cross-platform clipboard access in javascript
- copy strings to clipboard in a browser app
- check clipboard contents in a terminal program
When to choose
- you need simple cross-platform clipboard read/write in Node.js or the browser
- you want both async and sync clipboard APIs
- you need support for Linux Wayland and BSDs
When to avoid
- you need clipboard image support on platforms other than macOS
- you are running in a headless Linux environment without a display server
- you need rich clipboard formats beyond plain text
