I built Clipboard Genie, a Windows clipboard manager inspired by Paste on Mac. I loved Paste, but couldn’t find a good equivalent on Windows – so I made one.
Key features: - Unlimited history for text, links, files, etc. - Fast search & filtering - Contextual actions (open links, translate text, send to ChatGPT with custom prompts) - Simple automations (e.g. run an action when something is copied) - Cloud sharing (10 GB free quota for clipboard items including files) - AI integration with your own API keys (OpenAI, Gemini) - Clean UI, light & dark mode
Tech background: The first functional version was written in WPF. However, after discovering Avalonia (which I believe is the future of cross-platform UI for .NET), I rewrote the entire application. It was the perfect way to learn the framework. Right now it runs on Windows only, but Avalonia should make Linux/macOS builds feasible.
I’d love your feedback on: - What features are essential in a clipboard manager for you? - Do you use/need automations or integrations? - Are there any dealbreakers (privacy, performance, UI choices) that would stop you from trying a tool like this?
Thanks for taking a look!
