CopyQ is an advanced cross-platform clipboard manager that monitors the system clipboard and stores text, HTML, images, and custom formats in customizable tabs. It offers searchable history, notes and tags, system-wide shortcuts, and a powerful command-line interface with a scripting API.

Use cases

  • manage clipboard history across applications
  • search and paste previously copied text and images
  • automate clipboard actions with scripts
  • organize copied snippets into tabs with tags and notes
  • paste frequently used items with global keyboard shortcuts
  • ignore clipboard content from specific windows or text

When to choose

  • you need a full-featured clipboard history manager on Linux, Windows, or macOS
  • you want scripting and CLI control over clipboard content
  • you need to store images, HTML, and custom formats, not just plain text
  • you want a customizable, self-contained desktop app with tray integration

When to avoid

  • you only need simple clipboard sync between devices
  • you want a minimal tool with no learning curve
  • you need mobile or web-based clipboard management
