Clipboard History
GoPaste automatically records everything you copy to your clipboard — no manual action required.
Supported Content Types

|---|---|
| Text | Plain text, multi-line content, code snippets |
| Images | Screenshots, photos, graphics |
| Links | URLs are detected and categorized separately |
| Files | File paths copied from file managers |
How It Works
GoPaste runs a background monitor that listens for clipboard change events from your operating system. When content changes:
- The new item is captured
- If encryption is enabled (default), it's encrypted with AES-256-GCM
- The item is stored in a local SQLite database
- It appears at the top of your history list
Browsing History
Open the panel with Alt + ` to see your history. Items are ordered newest first. Each item displays:
- A preview of the content (truncated for long items)
- The content type icon
- A timestamp indicating when it was copied
Managing Items
- Paste an item: Click it or press Enter while selected
- Delete an item: Select it and press Delete
- Favorite an item: Click the star icon to mark it as a favorite
Storage Limits
By default, GoPaste keeps a rolling history of recent items. Favorited and pinned items are never automatically removed.
