File-Support

Clippy doesn’t just manage text and images — it also supports clipboard entries that contain files. Whether you’re copying documents, folders, or other file-based content, Clippy keeps your files organized, secure, and easily accessible.

  • File Clipboard History: Clippy automatically stores recently copied files in your clipboard history.
  • Metadata Display: View file name, type, size, and timestamp in the history list.
  • Quick Actions: Open file location, re-copy to clipboard, or favorite the file for later use.

Files are shown in the clipboard history with icons and details for easy recognition. Here’s how it might look:

  • End-to-End Encryption: If encryption is enabled, both file paths and associated metadata are encrypted locally before storage or sync.
  • Customizable Exclusions: You can define sensitive file types or paths to be excluded from tracking entirely.
  • Secure by Design: File access is sandboxed and follows strict permission boundaries. Clippy never modifies your original files.
