CacheClip

Clipboard history for the terminal – silent capture, fuzzy search, restore without leaving the shell.

I kept losing the token I copied three commands ago. Clipboard managers are fine until you live in the terminal and do not want another floating window.

CacheClip watches quietly, keeps a history, and lets you fuzzy-search and restore without leaving the shell.

Demo strip

$ cacheclip daemon &
$ cacheclip search token

Built with

Rust · Clipboard crate + Skim fuzzy matcher · JSON history on disk · GitHub Actions multi-OS releases

Where it got hard

01
Cross-platform clipboard access and packaging for linux / macOS / Windows on x86_64 and arm64.
02
A quiet daemon that polls, dedupes consecutive copies, and caps history without needing a GUI.

Role

Solo – design, code, and shipping.
