Why klipa

Ultralight

A 3.6 MB native binary (~6 MB installed) using ~25 MB RAM - no Electron, no browser engine, no GPU renderer.

Menubar dropdown

Click the menubar icon and your recent copies drop down. Click one to paste it. That is the whole UI.

Local-only, private

Your copies stay in one local file on your device. Nothing is logged, uploaded, or sent anywhere - klipa has no servers and makes no network connections.

Keep-awake sessions

Stop your machine from sleeping for 5 min to 5 hours, or indefinitely. Native on all three OSes.

Truly cross-platform

The same Rust core and native menubar dropdown on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
