clipmenu is a simple clipboard manager for X11 that stores clipboard history and lets you select past clips via dmenu, rofi, or fzf. A background daemon (clipmenud) monitors clipboard selections using XFixes, with companion tools for deletion and control.
Use cases
- manage clipboard history on linux
- paste previously copied text with dmenu
- search and re-paste old clipboard entries
- temporarily disable clipboard monitoring for password managers
- deduplicate repeated clipboard entries
When to choose
- you use X11 with dmenu, rofi, or fzf and want a lightweight clipboard manager
- you prefer simple, suckless-style C tools
- you want systemd user service integration
When to avoid
- you use Wayland, which is not supported
- you need a GUI clipboard manager with image previews
- you want a cross-platform solution for macOS or Windows
