Features

• database encryption - (only when setting a password)
• only 0.5MB RAM usage while idle - (with enable_watcher: 1 in clipman.json)
• streamer mode - everytime clipman's opened all information is censored until you click or hit tab
• images highgly compressed using webp to keep the .db file small
  • the original image is saved to the %temp% folder and will be used until it's gone
• start typing to filter to clips containing that text
• right click -> Context - goto the first time a clip was copied to see what else was copied around that same time
• hover over the right half of a clip to get a quick detailed view of it
  • text / files / images - expand to fill the window
  • text that is an imgur link or youtube link - renders as an image

Usage

Download the repo then run release/clipman.exe
