Qopy: My Favorite Clipboard Manager as a Developer

As a developer, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can make my workflow smoother and more efficient. Recently, I stumbled upon Qopy, an open-source clipboard manager that works on Linux and Windows.

What's Qopy?

Qopy is a straightforward clipboard manager that aims to improve upon the standard clipboard experience. It's designed to be user-friendly, reliable and fast.

Why Is it so good

Here are some reasons why Qopy is so good:

  1. It handles everything: Text, images, files: Qopy can store it all.
  2. It's fast: Built with Rust, it's super speedy and doesn't slow you down.
  3. Easy to use: The clean interface means you can find what you need quickly.
  4. Unlimited storage: You can keep as many clipboard items as you want.

Cool Features on the Horizon

The developer behind Qopy has some exciting plans for the future, including:

  • Code highlighting (a must-have for developers!)
  • Sharing clipboards across devices
  • Custom settings and keybinds
  • More detailed info about copied items

Getting Started

If you want to give Qopy a try (and I think you should!), you can grab the latest version here:

There are also nightly builds available through GitHub Actions here.

Wrapping Up

Qopy is simple enough for anyone to use, but powerful enough to handle a developer's needs. Whether you're writing code all day or just require a better way to manage your clipboard, I'd encourage you to give Qopy a try.

As it grows and evolves, I'm excited to see what new features will be added. Why not check it out and maybe even contribute to its development? After all, that's the beauty of open-source projects!
