cliphist is a clipboard history manager for Wayland that stores clipboard changes (text and images) to a history database. It works by piping through any picker like dmenu, rofi, wofi, or fzf to recall, delete, or manage clipboard entries.
Use cases
- manage clipboard history on wayland
- recall previously copied text and images
- store clipboard changes with wl-paste watch
- pick old clipboard items with rofi or dmenu
- preserve clipboard content byte-for-byte including whitespace
- clear or compact clipboard history database
When to choose
- you use a Wayland compositor like Sway, Hyprland, or Wayfire
- you want a picker-agnostic clipboard history tool that pipes to dmenu/rofi/fzf
- you need image as well as text clipboard history
- you need byte-exact clipboard preservation
When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than Wayland
- you want a GUI clipboard manager with built-in picker UI
- you need clipboard sync across multiple machines
