Features
- Every kind of copy: Text, the HTML a browser or an editor gives with it, images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG) and files copied in a file manager
- Fast to reach: One process for the session, in the notification area
- Search as you type: Every word you type narrows the list, case ignored
- Pinned entries: Ctrl+P pins an entry
- Secrets stay secret: What a password manager marks as a secret (KeePassXC and others
- The clipboard kept: When the program you copied from quits and the clipboard empties, papier puts the last entry back
- Light on the machine: 0 % CPU at rest, hidden or shown
- Yours to set: How many entries, for how long, what to record, the size limit, the primary selection, the colours (its own or one of twenty palettes), the size of the window and of its text
- A command line too: papier list, get, copy, pin, delete, clear
Download
The archive
One program for Linux x64. Unpack it and run ./papier install: a launcher in the applications menu,
~/.local/bin/papier, and the start with the session. Needs a Wayland compositor with data-control
(Hyprland, Sway, KDE Plasma, river, niri…), Vulkan, fontconfig.
papier-0.17.3-linux-x64.tar.gz
Windows
One program for Windows 10 and 11 (x64). It shows the system's clipboard history, the one Win+V shows, at
Ctrl+Shift+ù. Unzip it and start papier.exe: its Setup installs it, with a launcher in the Start menu, papier
on your PATH, and the start with the session.

Nix
The flake builds papier from source with everything it needs: nix run github:sachahjkl/papier, or
add packages.x86_64-linux.default to your configuration.
nix profile add github:sachahjkl/papier
Then bind a key, for Hyprland: bind = SUPER, V, exec, papier toggle. The README says the rest.
