tiez-clipboard

tiez-clipboard is an open-source desktop app that manages clipboard history across multiple devices. It captures text, rich text, images, and file paths to prevent data loss during frequent copy and paste tasks. The application is available for Windows 10 and 11, as well as macOS Sierra 10.15 and later, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures.

The software runs as a desktop application that docks at the screen edge to minimize workspace interference. It uses a local-first storage approach to maintain privacy while providing tools to organize captured snippets through a tagging system and global search. Users can install the software via standard installers or use a portable zip version on Windows to avoid system-wide installation.

Key features

• WebDAV and MQTT support for cross-device synchronization
• Local-first storage with privacy masking for sensitive data
• Support for text, HTML, images, and file path capture
• Custom multi-color tagging system for history organization
• LAN file transfer for moving items between network devices
• Sequential paste workflow for high-frequency tasks
• Built-in emoji library for quick access
• Integration with external editors with automatic sync back

The application is built using Tauri 2 and Rust to maintain a small memory footprint and ensure high performance through native listeners. It includes a user interface that supports Mica and Acrylic effects on Windows, along with four distinct theme styles including Frosted Glass, Notebook Style, Sticky Note, and 3D Interaction. The architecture allows for the instant transfer of one-time password verification codes between active devices on the same network.

Beyond simple history, the tool provides granular control over cleanup rules and app behavior through advanced settings. It is designed for users who need to move fragmented information between different operating systems without relying on proprietary cloud services. The combination of Rust and React allows the interface to remain responsive while handling large volumes of clipboard data.

tiez-clipboard is a technical utility for developers and power users who require synchronized clipboard history across a private infrastructure.
