What is it?

EcoPaste is a desktop clipboard manager that keeps a searchable history of what you copy. Its core logic is written in Rust on a Tauri architecture, while the React frontend handles rendering and interaction. Clipboard data, resources and settings are stored locally on your machine.

The app captures plain text, HTML, RTF, images, files and folders, and offers full-text search over clipboard content and notes through SQLite FTS5. History can be filtered by source application and content type, and items can be pinned, favorited, grouped and annotated with notes. Sensitive content such as private keys, service tokens, AWS keys and JWTs is skipped when detected with high confidence.

EcoPaste supports native shortcuts, tray integration, a dedicated preview window and drag-and-drop of items into other apps. Backups can be exported and imported as .ecopastebak files, with optional encryption.
